New York, NY. Seeking Talent Agents OR Junior Talent Agents who want to become Talent Agents.



New York, NY. Seeking Talent Agents OR Junior Talent Agents who want to be Talent Agents.

Looking for Junior Agents who want to make the jump to Talent Agent.
Are you always the bridesmaid and never the bride? Always the best man but never the groom?

Now is your chance to make the jump from Junior Talent Agent to full Talent Agent.
All it takes is the right fit between your agenting skills and our talent agency.
And..the right financial agreement to make it work for all parties.

We are looking for Film, Television, Commercial, Print, Fashion and Voice Over Agents. Also...

Do you have additional skills?

  • Have you booked legitimate theatre?
  • Have you booked or had experience in Sports Agenting?
  • Have you booked comedy or theatrical tours?
  • Have you booked voice over?
Either way,let us know what areas of Agenting in which you have actual experience.
Also let us know 'who you know' in the biz. Yes, it sounds like High School...deal with it.

We'd also be interested in those candidates who bring those skills to the agency although thats not a requirement.


We have a generous commission structure--and we're looking for Junior Agents who want to UPGRADE to Talent Agent, because its a financial payout that is less than that offered for seasoned, long term talent agents who've been in the business a long time.

Or perhaps you're a Talent Agent at a large agency where there's no room to grow or BUILD. Where your opinions aren't important and the senior partners are making the big score.

Let's face it, smaller agencies have to have a 'you eat what you kill' mentality. You get the series regular role for your actor? You should be handsomely rewarded with a generous commission structure.

The right candidate will be HUNGRY. They can't wait to become an Agent at a smaller agency because they have so much contained energy that is waiting to be released, they have ideas about how to truly succeed in the entertainment industry (if only someone would give them a chance!)

Well, this is opportunity knocking.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • You must have a minimum of one year as a Junior Agent. Not an Agent Assistant, not a Admin Asst but an actual Junior Agent.
  • A solid resume with solid references.
  • A clean background check (performed by us if we get to that point)
  • A great sense of humor
  • A self-starter, go-getter, make-it-happen personality.


Let's face it, there can only be so many agents. There are only so many jobs in New York. And it may be tough for other agencies to squeeze in one more full Talent Agent. It may not be in their best financial interest to promote someone who's been a Junior Agent for some time.

Well now is the time to spread your wings and fly.
If you have the confidence to build your own nest, and dont want to wait any longer for someone else to make it happen, this is the opportunity.

Send email resume and cover (all in the text of the email please. Lets avoid extra attachments) to info@affinityartists.com and name it "NY YORK TALENT AGENT" (your name/phones/city/distance to NYC and distance to Merrick, Long Island).

Please also include your distance from Merrick NY. While we have an office in NYC it is 'cozy' and we want to discuss potential remote work and/or working with us at another office we have in Merrick (Long Island)
