So I was definitely hustled...gotta hand it to the guy. The small Agency I applied for has 2 agents, one assistant and a secretary. Because I don't like slinging mud I want use names, etc.
I was under the impression I was hired my 1 of the 2 agents to work directly with him...for free. Turns out the Assistant (who has access to their email) hired me...to work for him...for free.
The only reason I took the job for free was to LEARN from someone who KNEW what they were doing. Not for some slimeball assistant sick of doing grunt work (reality check everyone's gotta do it man). So instead he did less work and gave me all his and then some so that he could doubly impress his bosses, not mentiioning to them that I DID THE WORK. Only that he did.
So I bounced outta there. No I did not do it empahtically, I did it politely. And since that douche of an Assistant wouldn't let me talk to the Agent when they were in the office (they werre barely there) I told him I wasn't going to be back...
But I'm still rolling upbeat. I contacted a ton of the firms I HAD WANTED to work at. Turns out they all haven't filled their mail rooms yet? Could have fooled me, it's JUNE!!
So I'm Coffee Cup Capering the Crap outta of L.A....Cacophony style (thanks to Kevin Donlin). We'll see where that gets me..until then I'm going to beat that blacktop and see more of the City of Angels (and Demons..PUN intended).
