Find out what you can do today to get your foot in the door at a talent agency from Nicole Teddone, a recent grad and new hire at global talent agency, William Morris Endeavor (WME). Through this hour-long conversation, Nicole will share personal anecdotes from her transition from LSA undergrad to WME; give students a peak behind the curtains to see what her work week is like; advise students on how to keep their fingers on the pulse of what’s current when it comes to tailoring applications and interviews; and more.
