Thanks Laura!

Go with the head hunter. I found my current job through a head hunter, and in my experience, it went very smoothly. It was a lot easier for me to talk negotiations with them, rather than directly with HR. Plus, if the agency doesn't decide to go with you, the head hunter can help you find other interviews. Good luck!

Wow, thanks Iva Sensei. Your wisdom is much appreciated! I'll let you know how it goes.

Use the headhunter, go through them to access this job opportunity. If it works out to your benefit, the large agency can afford to pay the commission, otherwise they would not of listed the job opening with the headhunter. But, make sure your best interests are being served, first and foremost, rather than the headhunter just getting a fee, for bringing a piece of meat to the table. The key benefit to you, choosing this route is that if the job at the large agency does not work out, call the same headhunter, and ask them to find something else for you. They will, because they were able to place you once, make money doing it, and will be more motivated than others, to do it again. In the agency business, it comes in handy to have a source of 'job flow.' You also look more important and better when you are being represented by a third party. Let then fight the fight, and do battle for your job, instead of you doing it. Let them earn their money and represent your best interests, so you can observe from the background and not get involved. Headhunters are also probably better at selling you, than you are. They might also be able to get you a better pay check and bigger job title. Good luck! Let me know what happens.
