I start tomorrow at a big talent agency. This was very insightful and helpful-thank you so much for the upload my man :)
Luverboy g luck!!
Thank you sooooooo much for sharing your story :)))
Thanks for this!
this helps. i am considering applying, without having any connections. but i currently intern at a record label and am learning a lot from doing that. my goal is to become a talent agent and i feel like this program is probably the most beneficial thing for me. i can make connections if i was there and im talented in working with talent (people always keep wishing i could have "real" experience or education so they can actually hire me). which is one of those things where i dont have that because people require that. lol endless cycle. im 30 so it was nice to hear that you were older as well. i used to professionally dance here and there and learned a lot about how the business works. just nothing super set in stone on my resume to show to people so i can actually get a job. hopefully working in this mail room can actually make a difference.
Bec thanks for listening - good luck!
thank you for this
No problem!
Are you going to do more of these? I have been looking for a space to discuss this! I worked in agencies in Atlanta. It really is somewhat of a hidden industry. Wish I had more people to talk about it and ask advice and stuff.
I make videos all the time on my channel but they are about life experiences. Working at an agency was just one part of it. Thanks for watching.
Interesting.
Dude, thank you for this! This info is so hard to get! I’m having the hardest time cracking the door open into the agency world. What was that initial temp agency you worked for?
I enjoyed this story bro!
thanks dude
I love this channel now
thank you
Hey man, thank you so much for this video. Super informative.
I have a question tho...I'f I'm still studying, would you recommend do internships at a big talent agency? Is it super demanding that I might focus just on one thing? What would you recommend?
If you're an intern they're not going to work you like an assistant. All experience is good experience. You also meet people that can possibly help you down the road. I would just bust your ass if you get an opportunity. best,
@@ThinkTarun Thanks man! Appreciate your response. Best,
WHAT temp agency did you go with brother and I’m happy you didn’t go through with the thing in the beginning. Keep being your best
Daniel Khumalo it was called the friedman agency or something
ThinkTarun Productions thanks brother. Take it easy
hey dude, I just got an interview type thing with UTA with no prior experience working in the industry but I am a college student. Any tips for the interview?
If you haven't already, do research on the company/clients, understand why you are applying, what department you are gunning for so you can talk intelligently. Study current market trends and be PROFESSIONAL. Don't show up late, have a resume, have a personality, blah blah blah. Their HR is solid and great people. Good luck!
can i talk to you via IG cause i’m emailing them but i’m so scared 🥺
So how was it?
@@kenbrynner didn't get it, but i did get CAA which is its equivalent so it's possible!
@@threeholePUNCHify are you still with the CAA? Thanks for the reply
Hi! Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever in Jesus Christ's name we pray amen.
Jesus is the way
how much do you think the agency has changed since the pandemic
Agents are much needed no matter what.
@@ThinkTarun been working as an assistant at tv network on business side super far removed from creative development and it's just really dull. Just got an opportunity to interview with UTA and am super excited. Was hoping UTA experience if I get the job would be a way into shifting into creative development but man this video got me super sus about all this now.
UTA is a great company and when I worked there - fantastic people. Hope it works out for you.@@THEANnetWork
Are u making enough money to live in that location while working in the mailroom?
Not really - My mail room class came from well off families. I was coming in having a previous career. It's still possible. I temped at another agency and some kids were living hand to mouth. Just being real with you.
No way
@@ThinkTarun how much did they pay you?
Make sure you never express an opinion. This talent agency will drop you.
Can you clarify this? Appreciate the comment.
@@ThinkTarun Don't express a conservative opinion, they'll drop you..
