No agent in his/hers right mind will consider you for a new role unless your current one is coming to an end and there is no chance for renewal - they are already getting income from you. Why would they want put you forward for the new role, only to have to look for replacement for your old one essentially doing double work for the same gain...

The other option you have is to go through another agency, if there are other agencies allowed at the end client.

Originally posted by Whorty View PostHave you not built a relationship with your agent over the past 3 years that would allow you to have an open conversation with them?

They could then line someone else up to fit in to your current role too - win, win

Depends on the type of commission the agent is on. Is he on a percentage? And all such questions ....
