      Agent who found me my last permie gig was a former professional gymnast. She was VERY bendy.

        I noticed that one of the "agents" who I'm connected to only came out of Sixth Form last year. Had a dig round and there are at least 2 other girls her age working there as well.

            meeting agents is a complete waste of time, likely just another thing on their score card like % time on the phone, leads / day blah blah blah

              Notice how most are ex-music or 'ology graduates?
