Should You Wait For an Agent to Start Your Career?
Don't let not having an agent keep you from starting your career. The search for an Agent is secondary to your getting out there and making a name for yourself first. Besides, an Agent will be much more inclined to represent someone that he/she believes is going to find their own opportunity.
A big misnomer is that once you get an Agent, you simply have to sit by the phone and wait for it to ring. The sad truth is that while Agents work on your behalf, they're going to get the clients that are already established working first because they know that's where their meal ticket is. Sitting around waiting for them to make you famous is as ridiculous as it sounds.
