If necessary, use a smaller font and position them towards the

o-earth appearance. Use good judgment when dressing.

Photos or Portfolio
As I stated in the portfolio section of this book, you don't absolutely need a portfolio to take with you to the model agency interview. However, you do want to take the very best photos you have to make a good impression. How many photos? Again, you're better off carrying only three or four of your very best shots than a portfolio book of 50 mediocre images. So, as a rule of thumb, I'd say to take from three to five good snaps including one headshot and one full bo

First Impressions - You get one chance

The old saying goes, "You only get one chance to make a first impression". This is true in almost every situation and modeling is no exception. When you finally get that model interview that you've been hoping and working for, bring the very best of everything you have to the meeting. Don't hold back; you may not have a second interview! I'm going to mention a few tips to help stack the deck in your favor. When I say this, don't believe for a minute that this will guarantee you a signing with the model agency. It won't. There is generally going to be fierce competition out there and it may come down to you and several other models. If this is the case, you'll want your presence to shine through giving you that oh so minor edge over the others.

First, let's talk about preparation for the interview.

Should I wear makeup or not?
Agents don't want to see your face made up like a Barbie doll. They (or their clients) can make you look the way they require after you are signed. The agent at the first interview wants to see the real you so that he or she knows the material available to work with. So, you have two choices; Either wear no makeup at all to the model interview or just a little. The latter being my suggestion. By a "little" I'm talking very little such as ... Some concealer to hide major blemishes Mascara and just a touch of natural-looking eye shadow A hint of blush to bring out the cheeks And remember, be sure not to overdo any of this. The agent should barely be able to tell you're wearing any makeup at all so just enough to look natural "on purpose".

What to wear to the agency interview
I would suggest wearing clothing that accents your body without being overbearing. You don't want to look like a prude or "easy prey". Don't wear excessively tight clothing or a blouse with a plunging neckline. You want the agent to first look at your face. Just a good, sensible casual outfit should work fine especially since you'll be wearing very light makeup to the interview. From a photographer's point of view I would also suggest a button-up shirt with long sleeves. This always looks nice and gives a down-to-earth appearance. Use good judgment when dressing.

How To Realistically Set Your Fees - Part 1
Calculating Billable Hours Myth Vs. Reality We all know there are 52 weeks in a year and 40 working hours in a week. Therefore, we can bill 2080 hours per year, right. Wrong. Too often this is the trap that many new service businesses fall into. The first step in calculating your billable hours is to define a realistic working year. If you were employed elsewhere, you would expect or want at least two weeks vacation time, one week sick time, one week personal time and paid holidays. So, where does that leave us - 52 weeks minus four weeks leaves 48 weeks minus about 10 paid holidays, or a total of approximately 46 weeks per year. OK, you say, that means I can still bill for 46 weeks times 40 hours per week or 1840 hour

gency. It won't. There is generally going to be fierce competition out there and it may come down to you and several other models. If this is the case, you'll want your presence to shine through giving you that oh so minor edge over the others.

Career as a Jewelry Repairer
The Jewelry Repairer needs special training, ability to work on a tedious job for hours and a love for jewelry. He may work in a variety of places and possibly be self-employed.Education Requirements: The repairer should have finished high school where he took classes in chemistry, physics, shop and mechanical drawing. He may have attended a community college or trade school where he took courses in jewelry repair techniques, as well as use and care of tools and machines. He also learned casting, polishing, stone setting and gem identification. His education probably continued in an on-the-job training program.Job Abilities: The jewelry repairer must be able to work on very tedious tasks for long periods of time. He must have g

The agent should barely be able to tell you're wearing any makeup at all so just enough to look natural "on purpose".

Eliminate Painful Meetings
I remember being interviewed by a writer for an article about effective meetings that was to appear in a national magazine. The writer began the interview by saying, “I don’t want any of the old standard tips; I want new tips.”I replied, “Well, people wouldn’t need new tips if they used the old tips.” This isn’t what the writer wanted to hear, nor is this what many of us want to hear, but this is the truth. If we used what we already know, we could avoid a lot of problems -- including unproductive meetings.Have you ever sat through a meeting only to realize that the real issues were being discussed outside the meeting? Have you ever attended a meeting and asked yourself what the point was?Many organizations experience wha

Is Your Advertising... Sexy?
Ever hear the term 'sexy' advertising? It's not necessarily what you think. Sure, some people's idea of sexy advertising is hot babes in bikinis spraying beer all over each other, but that's overtly sexual and not what we're about to discuss here.Do you engage sexy advertising in your marketing campaign? If not, you should."Sexy" advertising refers to ads that are highly targeted, yet artfully subtle - and therefore, extremely attractive to the key consumer.I'm going to try and curb my use of the word 'sexy' now because I think it's quite blatant, and therefore not sexy at all. So from now on we'll try and call them ads that are "attractive."What makes an ad (or a person) attractive? People perceive the worl

Let your personality shine through
If there's one thing I've learned about professional models, they are definitely not shy!! So, one step in becoming a professional model is to look and act the part. I'm not saying to have a cocky or arrogant way about you. Just show a pleasant confidence. Here are a couple of pointers. Let the agent put his hand out first and then give a good, firm handshake Look the agent in the eye Smile, Smile, Smile (Let your natural smile show, not a head bowed, nervous smile). Practice in the mirror 'til you have the right effect Lean a bit forward when the agent is speaking (this shows you're interested and listening) Copy the agent's body language (Be subtle about this but if the agent has his legs crossed or hand to the chin, easily follow and do the same) When asked, describe yourself in concise terms, don't ramble You have two ears and one mouth; use them in that order. Never argue (even if you disagree with what the agent is saying just smile and go on with the interview. You don't have to work with him if the disagreement is unsolvable) Get the agent to talk about the model agency; You'll learn more and develop rapport with her because people love to talk about themselves or their business

I know this is a lot to remember so a good way to make this information your own is to get a family member or a friend to conduct a rehearsal interview with you so that you can practice these skills. After a while you will be performing them naturally. If you know a working model, even better to let her help you. No matter what, don't get defensive OK, so you've made it through those awkward first moments and the interview is going great. All of a sudden the agent mentions that he would like to talk with you on another date; after you've lost 10 pounds!!

What do you do now?
I know, I know, weight is a sensitive issue with women, especially models, but you should take this in context. First I would thank the agent for his advice because he knows what his clients (and your future employers) want. If you decided never to talk to that agent again, I

Companies come and go. So do brands and promotional memorabilia. Interestingly, though sometimes a logo becomes so cherished it can actually last longer than the actual company who produced it. When this happens, it is an indication of serious feelings of customer goodwill, employee satisfaction, and positive associations in general.

The trend in using the Internet to find employees will only increase as resume tracking technology improves. The following are some strategies to help you in your next job search.
