OK .. first rule .. never lie when applying for a job .. casue they will find out latter .. \ni am not much into modelling .. but here is what i got for yaa from the net .. \nfrom this website : \nhttp://www.newyork.bbb.org/Default.aspx?pid=1282#title7\n\n1- Investigate the modeling agency or manager before you visit or sign a contract. Call the Better Business Bureau to obtain the BBB’s reliability rating for the firm, and to see if the firm has been the subject of complaints or serious law enforcement actions. If you are dealing with a modeling agency, contact the Department of Consumer Affairs to verify the firm’s license. Ask the company for the names of models who have received work through the firm’s services. \n\n2- Do not pay fees for classes or testshots. Legitimate companies invest in you, not vice versa. Occasionally, you may be expected to pay for the photographer’s film for test shots, which is a minimal cost. \n\n3- Do not meet with managers after business hours or at their homes. If you do see them at odd times or places, go with a friend who will stay with you. A legitimate manager will not be offended by this reasonable precaution; only illegitimate ones will. \n\n4- Beware of people who represent themselves as “Talent Scouts” or “Talent Packagers” who are really only photographers with little or no incentive to give you an honest assessment of your chances of becoming a model. \n\nand most of the websites had this : They should never ask for MONEY.\n\njust go on google or yahoo and search for "modeling agency" u will find alot to read \n\nGood luck

You're just right. You're so right you could be a model. Don't let anyone tell you that you're otherwise. Just stop trying to be perfect; you'll make yourself sick.

I am a model, however, who are you, what type of work are you suggesting, what is the location and compensation, and do you have references?\n\nI have profiles online. Please, if you are a professional, go through the proper processes, or update the question with more  info. so we know you're legitimate.

For me, there has to be four elements:\n\n1. Personality: She needs to have an infectious personlity that meshes with me hand-in-glove.\n2. Attitude: Both a positive attitude about life, and a little bit of an edge to her.....takes risks every once in a while.\n3. Intelligence: She needs to be conversant on a wide range of topics...no Valley Girls need apply.\n4. Appearance: There just has to be a physical chemistry working. \n\nMany women have 1 or 2 - - a few have 3 - - but it it RARE to find a 4-tool woman....

Patience is the key. Other qualities include things like: Friendly nature, the will to be the best, the capability to lead and focus on the topic in hand.

It's hard to explain in my personal preference.  You could have a supermodel and an "average" woman, and I may choose the latter.  Looks aren't everything, but they are somewhat involved, I'm not going to lie.  Other than that, I look for a fun personality, capability to have a good conversation (serious or otherwise), attitude, and a sense of humility.  But some other guys are just in it for the looks...sad, as it may be less fulfilling.

I'd say chef, you can only model for as long as you look good.\nCooking is something you can do for much longer.

By your username I am going to assume that you are or want to be a model. This may be something that you want to incorporate into a business. As I have leaned over the last few years, if your business isn't something you are passionate about then you will not hang in there. I know nothing about the modeling business myself, but take a look at Tyra Banks. She has an empire now and she build it on helping OTHER women acheive their dreams. You could start an online modeling agency where you have chat rooms for models to interact, and a featured model on the home page every week. you can contact other business owners (small and large or internet businesses, looking for models but can't afford to go the FORD agency to get one) and "book" the girls and get a percentage and they get exposure and another page in their books. OR you can simply start an informational website for aspiring models to come and check out, post their photos, get and give advice, then have businesses like photography studios and hair salons and boutiques advertise on your site and charge them.\n\nGood Luck

Rule number one of entering the modeling world: If someone wants *YOU* to pay for anything other than headshots, you're being scammed. Those modelling "classes" that get run at the local hotel/convention center? They're wolves feeding on people who think they have what it takes to "get inside." If your girls are determined to enter the business, get some headshots done and have them start pounding the pavement. Call local agencies, make appointments, look for casting calls in the local indie paper, do whatever... and tell them the entire time that that's what being a model/actress is all about. Lots of walking, lots of waiting, and lots of rejection. There are maybe 50 "supermodels" in the entire world, and there are *thousands* of girls who are waiting for one of them to turn 30 and be too old to do it any more. It's hard, it's not pretty, and you have to be crazy to want to do it. And if your girls are that kind of crazy, then I wish them well.\n\nGood luck.
