    Ok, just boomed a new contract This is my second one in a row that didn't involve an agent. I used Linkedin to network and got a hit and a contract the next day. I'm feeling happy with my strategy to not link with agents, just actual contacts. There are a few agents that I link with but these are people who I have done business with in the past and were ethical and had more than one brain cell. This is my business model now.
    If you can do it its great, I haven't used an agent to get a job since 2011, not that I will rule them out but going direct you have so much more negotiation on rates and other stuff

      That's what I do, only those agents I've worked with become a connection.
