    Proper agent ?

    Just finished a gig with an agent, a week before the finish, he got me an interview with another client, did all the legwork about my CV and my references etc. I did not even have to apply for the gig, only the interview and now got a new shiny contract. The role isnt advertised anywhere. I feel like I am being represented by a proper agent, like a footballer's agent.

    I'd want to know before my cv was submitted somewhere - I take it he did that?

            TEK have been decent in the past, especially the ones that were at Aston Carter before the name merge.

                    Another plus for Tek, and those at Aston Carter. Generally a good bunch.
