And how do you select an agency, Jay? (Anyone?) I usually jump on the
initial posting for a given gig, posted by agency A, and have had contact
with same. Days later there are postings—reading very similar to the
first—from agencies B and C, where the bennies appear a bit more lucrative.
Problem is, I'm already locked into agency A, like it or not.
