There are many outlets today. I can give you a couple of examples.
1. Sign up to Partners in Shidduchim. You have a wide selection of singles from all across the spectrum.
2. Send your resume to (contact info removed). He has a network of shadchanim that will send you a multitude of prospects. These all have references that you can look into.
3. Grow up. If you are old enough to get married, you are old enough to look thru the selections yourself. Find who you like and then run it by your parents. All too often, the parents want something completely different than what the boy/girl want.
