“To use an agent or not use an agent? That is the question"

[nvoorst]

Damo, if you are looking for some sort of guarantee that someone can sort out your situation and that your application will be successful, let me assure you that no such guarantee can be given. As for checking on an agent's success rate, there is no way to do that really. References by other clients might not tell the whole story. In the end you have to use your own judgement.

True! References mean very little, actually. If I had feedback sheets from 100 clients, and 10 wrote good things about me, and 90 wrote bad things about me.......which ones do you think I would show future clients?
