Staffing company or just cold interview?

Hey guys, should I go through a staffing company or some kind of recruiter rather than just cold applying. Any advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

If staffing company gets you a job then go with staffing company. You should try doing to freelance work to build your portfolio. You can find some freelance gigs on upwork or craigslist.

You can also approach small businesses to see if they need website redesigns.

To apply to jobs work, but your resume, cover letter, and portfolio have to be top notch. Plus cater to the job to the description.

Thanks man. Remember to do projects to get your hands dirty. When things break you learn how to fix them. That's development. LOLs.
