"From reading your job description and knowing a fair amount about the entertainment industry I believe a talent agent like myself should be a go-getter, persuasive, and determined never to take no as an answer. Just like myself, an agent must be ready to hustle and get the job done no matter what it takes. With that said, there should also be a softer side to an agent. For myself, it's important that I am approachable, honest, and transparent with my clients and those I represent."
