Ever fancied helping Myleene Klass find work?

Here's that big break you've all been waiting for. An email has just arrived from the agent Jonathan Shalit and he's looking for someone to help in the office.

"We have a great opportunity for some one at Shalit Global with
3 years relevant experience. Please ignore if not and do pass on if you
do. Thank you. Kind regards Jonathan Shalit" says the note, before giving the following break down of what the company does:
"My co-director, Severine Berman represent [sic] a number of clients including Myleene Klass and Jamelia. Shalit Global also represents Kate Silverton and Konnie Huq.

The job is mostly assisting with clients on their day to day activities
- but since we are a small company the role is varied and you must be
flexible. A day can include everything from arranging diaries,
proactively getting work for our clients, attending TV shows and video
shoots, negotiating fees, checking contracts and general office duties."

So now we all know exactly what it is that publicists and managers do.
But is there anything missing from his job description, do you think?
