Model Resumes

The first thing to think about when preparing a Model Resume is what sort of modelling you would like to be considered for. This will depend a lot upon the jobs available at the time, but you should always try to adapt your Model Resume to the job which you are applying for at that time.

As a model, it is imperative that you are able to get on well with people as it is a very face to face position and you will be working closely with photographers all the time. Your Model cover letter can help you by having an open, friendly feel which will put your personality across.

You can start your Model cover letter by explaining where you saw the position advertised and why you would like to work for this particular agency. Always do some research on the agency in question and try to heap some praise on their previous work. If you can show that you follow their work and have admired their photo shoots in the past, then this can only help. You should also try to persuade your potential employers why you should be considered for their latest position. You can help your cause by giving some brief information about your previous experience and if you have some other agency experience then you can mention this here. Don’t give too much information here because you have the opportunity to expand on this in your Model Resume. Sign off your cover letter with a nice friendly sentence making clear again how much you would like to be considered for the position and mention that you will be in contact soon over the telephone to chase up your application.

Your Model Resume should be dominated by your portfolio, and in these modern times you can include a hard copy of this with your Model Resume, and you can also provide a link to an online portfolio which will show that you are up to date with the industry and you also have more space online to show yourself off. In terms of the written word, you really need to cover the basics to show that you understand the professional nature of the business.

After you have listed your name, address and contact details, along with a website address if you have one, you should have a section about your hopes and dreams about your future career. Don’t worry if your aspirations are high – any employer would like to work with someone ambitious, but it will help your cause to suggest that your ambitions fall pretty closely in line with the general outlook of the agency to which you are applying.

The next section of your Model Resume should cover your work experience, and here you should mention which agencies you have worked with, which photographers you have worked with and where you have been published. Follow this with a brief section on your education.

The last section of your Model Resume should be devoted to your outside interests. This is a very important part of the application because it is an opportunity for the reader to get a feel for your personality.
