The Model Factory | Attitude in Modelling

The Model Factory and the 3 P's

Welcome back to The Model Factory. In February we had a great month with some of our models having successful casting auditions and getting great jobs. We thought we should review some of the best traits that good models work on and improving yourself has a direct effect on the likelihood of beating the competition in a casting or agency interview.

Being Personable

The idea that being catty is cool is out dated. To make things run smoothly, being approachable and friendly is a much better idea. First impressions are very important in modelling so work on your introductions and draw people in, make them want to know more, rather than pushing them out with a bad attitude.

Punctuality

Being punctual is a simple thing that many people lack. If you are late for your first meeting with someone, they will always remember you as 'the girl who was late that time'. Alternatively, wouldn't it be better if they remembered you as 'the girl who showed up 20 minutes early fully prepared'? In The Model Factory's experience many advertising agencies will work with a handful of models over and over again. Once they find someone reliable, punctual, and professional, why would they risk taking on someone they don't really know? If you get the chance, don't blow it by being late - they will never believe your excuses!

Perseverance

If things are out of your control, and you are feeling let down by not getting a specific job or missing out on a good agency, make a decision whether you'll carry on with your head held high, or wallow in defeat, hoping for something else to find its way to you. If you tend to do the latter, you'll find modelling a difficult pursuit. This is where The Model Factory can help though. Find out more about us in The Model Factory video.
