Getting into a Modelling Agency

BillMcErlane

Hello folks

current situation: 25 male, just finished a Computer Science Degree, starting working for a bank in a application development role. I started to get more involved in the more ppl side of things through support it enjoy it a whole lot more.

I want to get a Job in a Modelling Agency I have a few options go directly to the agencies or teach english in a foreign country for a year then hope that experience makes me more employable.

So I'm asking to anyone who works or has experience working in the industry, what the best approach for a non model?

Have you a interest or experience in fashion/photography? Or is it the pretty girls that interest you? I ask because you don't make clear exactly what makes you want to get into a modeling agency specially. I mean if you want to work with people these 100s of other options that you're more likely to enter. I'm not sure if teaching english experience is something model agencies look for, if anything i highly doubt thats high on the list.

edit: I'm not sure why this is in the relationship personal issues forum

yeah shouldda been in PI forgot I was in the sub-board

A number of reasons why I like to work in the industry a interest in kooky fashion and the want to be involved in the glamour of it all. Working with photographer and that side of it.

and to hang out with hot models :P

Well, firstly, I don't think the industry is as glamorous as it seems.

What area to you want to get into?

If you enjoy working with people, why are you so fixed on this one thing?

OP, this isn't a PI. I suggest you try either the Fashion & Appearance or Work & Jobs forums.
