and train their models.

their models.

and book their models.

Better Business Bureau has to advise...
A Smaller
or Bigger Agency?
Weigh the advantages and the disadvantages of the smaller versus
the larger agency prior to calling for an appointment.
- A smaller
agency would more than likely be able to get you more work,
but their pay scale could be as low as half of what
you could make at one of the bigger agencies!
- One tremendous
advantage to working for a smaller agency is that if you
are completely green, you will gain experience and become
polished in the interim.
A bigger agency,
by contrast, is in a better position to pay larger fees to
models.
- Your pay
scale could be doubled with a large agency
- but you
could find yourself working less
- the calls
would be spread more thinly among the many models.
- though
you may be sent on nearly twice as many go-sees as the
smaller agency could send you on, the larger agency has
more models for that same client to interview for the
same job.

Portfolios
are built over time.
Reputable schools do not charge an up front registration
fee before joining.
It is up
to you to choose the agency that you think could use your
particular look to the optimum. Every agency specializes
in a certain style. Familiarize yourself with the various
models that each agency represents. You will see the similarities
in their overall look and you must then judge where you
think that you fit in best
