Comments:
I registered with this agency because they had a great reputaion for working with the music industry. Now, I know it is hard to get there and I was being specific. But here is my issue: I registered with one person only to find out that two weeks later they were gone, so I set up an appointment with the "New Guy" and another "New Guy". at this meeting I told them of my interest but also stated that I would be willing to work anywhere (times were getting tight). I'm still waiting for an assignment. I've been an administrator for 6 - 7 years and know I am qualified for most Reception/Administrative positions.
Thanks to a couple of agencies I was also registered with, I was able to eat and pay bills. Finally I had to stop calling them because I was getting work elsewhere while still seeking my goal.
