Agencies typically will send only a few CVs as they also operate as a
filtering service for the employer. Also they will get a percentage of
interest to get you more money.
It is OK to ask the agency why your CV was not presented. Tell them that
you need to know in order to present yourself better for other
opportunities. The difficult part is listening and taking in what they
say with the blood pounding in your ears.
My advice is to take what people say here on this newsgroup with a pinch
of salt. As a lot of them are quite successful with a few jobs under
their belts. IMO you need to get more experience of other companies so
go for a rate that you can live with not necessarily the top of the
salary range.
A couple of years ago when I had difficulty finding work. I accepted a
job in Nigeria at a rate in Euros that was only about 60% of what I had
been getting in pounds. Not for the money but to get myself back into
the job market. (Not that I would recommend to anyone going to Nigeria,
you understand.)
