If interested how long does it usually take to hear from agents once youve sent picture/ resume? Do they usually have someone opening mail for them on a daily basis or are some so overwhelmed they dont get to open mail for a while?

There is no one answer to this question. We heard anywhere from a matter of days to over 6 mos. My advice: just send out your stuff, get on with life, and see who calls. I nothing materializes, do it all over again in 6 mos. time.

Very sound advice dramamama!
