The Real Way to Find Modeling Jobs

If you are someone that aspires to become a model, navigating the path to get started it can be very challenging. Often, beginners that are seeking to get started in the industry go online to research how to start as model or what it takes to get started as a new face talent. While every modeling agency has a different requirement for what they are seeking, using some clever hacks can help you not only get signed to an agency, but also find modeling jobs. Rule Number 1: Network All too often people that want to start out as a model usually keep it to themselves. While this is great, it can also be very limiting. In order to find real modeling jobs, you have to network with other models that are working in the industry. You can attend networking events you find online, or also research open casting calls where there will be a lot of other models just like you. If you were in a smaller market that isn't in a big city like Boston, New York or Miami where there are dozens of agencies for models, there are many other local modeling jobs that you can find online. It's best to try to find casting calls on free websites, or work with a company that specializes in helping you start out.

Learning how to network is an essential skill in any field. We thrive by interacting with people who can help us grow. Nearly everything we do is a direct result of the people we spend our time with.

The most important thing as a model is to get out there and start networking with others. You can network in person or online. There are also model boot camps online that can help you get model training.

Don't be afraid to talk to people you don't know. It's important to keep in mind that there is no right or wrong way to network. The goal is to build relationships with people who will help you progress in your career. If you have a personal network, it will help you find new roles and find other model castings in your area.

Rule 2: Look Online Looking online for casting calls and open meetings with modeling agents is very difficult. Now, many modeling agencies are strictly digital where they do not allow anyone to attend an open call. While in the past it was very common for agents to host a weekly meeting to welcome in your faces, it is increasingly rare.

Network online such as MeetUp.com are help for models to find events. Other free model websites are EventBrite.com

Remember, many small and upcoming businesses need models to advertise for their projects, so they use platforms to seek new talent. There are public casting calls that can be found all over the web, with Craigslist as an example. (Always be safe when using free sites online since they are open to any one.) If you want access to legit castings, many paid sites require fees to access them. As a new model, that is always to be expected and is a normal part of starting as model.

Rule 3: Get Support It is so important to have guidance and support if you are looking to get started. There are many platforms that offer access to public casting calls such as Latitude Talent studios, which is a platform that automatically matches a model or actor to a casting gig.
