Modeling - The Things You Need To Know - Introduction

The next few Blog posts will cover the things you need to know about modeling. Topics will include getting discovered, before the interview, getting an interview, at the interview, final advice, and other discovery opportunities. These topics will help educate young people and parents on how to begin a career in the modeling industry while avoiding the pitfalls and scams that are associated with the industry. While there is not a set formula to become a model, consumer agencies often hear from parents and young people who ask about specific modeling opportunities.

One of the most important factors to remember in becoming a model is timing. Being in the right place at the right time is how many models got their start. It could happen anywhere. Given the long odds, it is important to be careful when approached by any modeling opportunity to make sure it is legitimate. You can start by researching agencies by using the Model and Talent Directory, an annual publication that lists over 2,400 legitimate modeling and talent agencies worldwide, plus ones in your area.
