What does an agent mean when they offer to 'work freelance' with me?

Freelancing basically means that the agent is not taking you on as an exclusive representative. What they're going to do is call you when they have something that they think is right for you. And this is not the worst thing in the world, it is not bad, of course it's always great to have an exclusive contract with an agent, but this freelance thing, especially when you are just getting started, can really work to your advantage. Sometimes when you're young and you start a long term contract, exclusive contract with an agent, if that relationship isn't working out so well that's not really bearing the fruit that you like it to, then it can be a little tricky sometimes stepping away from that. Whereas when you are freelancing with an agent, you have the freedom to say ‘well ok, you know what, this isn't working for me' and even just not take a course if that's what you really feel. But I always take the course.
