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.
