So you decided you’re going to become a model. You’ve got it all and you know you’re going to work hard, be professional and make every event amazing! There is only one thing missing… jobs.
Sure, you can spend time scouring shady internet job offers at a variety of networking sites. Wasting hours each day trying to decide if an event is worth your time, if you’re actually going to get paid or even if the offer is reputable. Anyone who loves this industry is aware that there is a dark side, so how can you avoid getting involved with a less than safe event? Join an agency!
Whether your dreams are for a lifetime of international runways or working promotions at your local bar, an agency can make a huge difference, especially in a city as large as Chicago. Standing as an intermediary between you and the client, an agency can eliminate your hesitations by asking the tough questions beforehand. Its important to remember that an agency will always have their models best interests at heart, and therefor will not make decisions that could jeopardize their reputation within the industry.
However, as a model, it is also your responsibility to do the research, find an agency that fits with your dreams, who has a good reputation and makes you feel comfortable no matter what the job is! Check out our “I wanna be a model” section for more information.
