A Fashion Model Needs An Entry-Level Portfolio Not An Entry-Level Resume
My best advice for those interested in becoming a fashion model, and is not sure exactly how to sell their talents, I recommend a modeling agency. These people are paid to help you sell your fashion model talents to those out there who need your fashion model talents. In my opinion, it is the agency that you choose who highlights exactly your talents as a fashion model and helps you put together your portfolio. That, in essence, is your resume, and is probably a lot more effective than a written one. As a fashion model your potential employers will want to see your experience not read it since that is the nature of the job.
You don’t have to take my word for it as I list a couple of websites below that actually do assist those in your shoes. Those wanting to enter into the fashion model arena and don’t know exactly how to get the-foot-in-the-door. These sites provide tips on what is typically expected of a fashion model (clear skin, good teeth, nice hands etc.), although I’m sure these sites are not the end all and be all of fashion modeling advice.
So have fun, learn new things and find that entry-level job!!
