Victoria,

My experience is that you DO NOT want to be presented to the same client by
different agencies. There's too much of a squabble over who is due the
commission, and rather than fight that battle, the client will not consider
you at all.

This does not mean you should not use more than one agent. You should just
have the say on where they send your resume.

Regards,


Marc
