No. Even if you could guarantee accurate feedback from the employer (which you likely can't, since companies avoid giving it to avoid things like potential lawsuits), it'd just feel counterproductive to pay money on the off chance I'd get a job afterwards. It'd also be rather costly (especially if you're not making money as it is) and would screw things up by taking away the mass submitting applications thing. I mean, at the end of the day, job hunting is a numbers game. It's not all about having the first person through the door with the right skillset hired on the spot.
