How does a realestate agency choose which tenent to take the new house?
Q. Went to a house inspection today, but there were a few other inspectors. Really liked the house, and have decided to take it (rent). Just want to know what the odds are for me to get it? What would the realestate agency consider when they choose the tenant?

A. First of all; you and the others are NOT "inspectors" and you are not "inspecting" the house unless you are qualified to do home inspections. You are a possible tenant looking to rent the property. And you should not be dealing with a real estate agency; you may be having a Realtor show you houses but the final decision will be or SHOULD be made by a property management company. How they choose a tenant to lease a property is that they try to find the best tenant for the property to protect the best interest of the property owner and who they think will have the lower risk of either not paying rent or causing damage to the property. In this attempt to qualify tenants they will look at employment history, income , credit report, past… [cont.]

How do I find a reputable acting agency?
Q. I am a 14 year old girl from Birmingham, and am very interested in performing professionally. I have looked for agencies on the internet but never know whether they are any good or just a scam? I am looking for an agency who will represent me for auditions for modelling/theatre/films/t v etc. Please can you help me?

A. Before you approach any agent, you need something to approach them with; A good strong filled up resume, a reel, a Headshot, business card, several monologues at the ready, as well as a good strong cover letter. You also need acting skills. What, did you think you'll just show up and an agent is going to take the time to "Train and groom you" to become the next overnight star?!! NOT SO... Getting work begings with you doing the work to make yourself employable. Remember, acting is a job like any other job. No one is going to take you in off the street so to speak and hand you any role in front of a camera, and you can't even act, have no background in the business, no study in acting, no experience in acting...!!

Q. I am trying to have a company pay me to drive a car or truck with their logos on it. It would be a sponsored car. I have been refered to a media agency for answers and possibly an oppurtunity to do this. What is a media agency? Where would I find one? And who would I talked need to talked to once I've found one?

A. A media agency is a company that buys advertising time for either ad agencies or companies (that may handle their own ad creation). You can try the yellow pages under advertising. Some big ad agencies do their own media buying. If that doesn't work, call your local TV or radio station and ask for the sales department. Ask somebody in sales who the big media agency in town is and see if they know somebody there. Logo driven ads are a very small niche market, however, and unless you are in the right city with the right client, this is going to be a tough challenge for you.
