What is the modeling industry like?
The modeling industry is tough. Like any business, you need to invest time, energy and of work hard to succeed. You will also learn to deal with rejection as part of daily go-sees (interviews) with clients who, more often than not, turn you down for the job. As a professional model, you must be prepared to work 8, 10 or even 12 hour days, not including travel time. Flexibility is also important as usually, you don’t know much in advance, who, where or when you’ll be working. The key to remember is that modeling is a business – as a model, you are in the business of selling yourself. You must keep yourself in good physical shape, stay healthy, be friendly and have a great personality to succeed. And remember, it doesn’t happen overnight!
