When you get an agent, you're considered a client, not staff. If you want to be staff you would work in the office and they would not be sending you on auditions because then they would lose the person filing their papers and getting their coffee :-) If you do actually want to work in the office you can become an intern, but you should know however that while you will learn a lot about the business... they usually have a clause that states that you may not work as an actor while working in their office. I do think it's a good eye opener for anyone who doesn't know much about the business though! You'd learn a lot about what not to do!
If on the other hand you simply want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is and San Francisco does have it's fair share of agencies.
Then you can send them your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview.
Good luck!

The intern route is definitely the way to go. Agencies always like to have beautiful girls around the office.

There's tons of agents in L.A. Offer your services as an intern and someone will eventually say "yes."
