Agencies

[psychocandy]

Dealing with just one agency? Hmmmm.

There are more agencies out there than contracts I'm sure lol. Whereas it would be nice to stick with one agency especially if they turn out to be decent, its just not going to be possible.

I think when starting out it is a lot harder. Agents don't know you, you don't have a network in the contracting world, you're basically an unknown quantity.

You need to get yourself seen by as many people as possible. I do have one agent who seems pretty good at finding me work, but I don't rely on him. I apply for anything that looks to be a likely prospect, but also get enquiries coming in on LinkedIn. The more jobs you have under your belt, the easier it becomes.
