As a former Development Executive, Production Executive, Personal Manager and Executive Assistant, I can say that every word you wrote is 100% on the money. The "glamour" of the job is shortlived. The work is endless and often frustrating, but like you said, it's all worth it when someone really has a good story AND delivers it professionally. That being said, it usually like looking for a tiny needle in a proverbial haystack of worthless crap, rarely worth the paper it's printed on.
