On a more or less daily basis, someone seems to be awarded the accolade of \u2018The Next Kate Moss\u2019, but it\u2019s never us..<\/p>\n

\"Many<\/a>
Kate Moss is one of the most successful UK models with a career spanning decades.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No one is ever going to tell you modelling is easy, and if they do, don\u2019t believe them. Modelling is a career like any other, and can be really hard work.<\/p>\n

The first step into modelling can be incredibly difficult. Some people will get scouted, and can have a career fall in their lap. You hear stories about a designer\u2019s latest prodigy who was working as a waitress and is now earning multimillions and all she had to do was serve a cocktail to the right chap. There are plenty of those stories about, but that isn\u2019t how most models start.<\/p>\n

If no one has noticed how incredibly talented you are, it\u2019s their loss. And to get noticed you\u2019re going to have to put in some leg work.\u00a0Modelling is hard, so unless you\u2019re willing to do all these things, it\u2019s unlikely to ever be more than a hobby.<\/p>\n

  1. \n

    To be successful you will need to be pretty organised. For any jobs, try and arrive 15 minutes early, and at the very least on time. There are plenty of other models out there so if you can\u2019t be bothered to arrive on time, you\u2019ll get replaced. Make sure you leave a lot of time to account for any public transport issues or traffic jams. If you arrive early you can always visit a local coffee shop, or spend some time composing yourself \u2013 there is nothing worse than rushing in late and flustered.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Speak to your talent management agency, or the client if you\u2019re arranged the work yourself, and get detailed instructions of location and whether there\u2019s parking available.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Don\u2019t expect everything to be glamorous. For most jobs you\u2019ll be expected to turn up without makeup and looking fresh. The idea of going out without your full face applied might be hugely daunting, but your skin and your client will thank you. To get your skin to the best standard possible, try and have makeup-less days if you can.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"<\/a>
      Be prepared to go to work without makeup and be entirely restyled.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      If you\u2019re working another job this might be a bit tricky, but do you really need to wear foundation to go to the supermarket? No. We didn\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

      Prepare your skin by applying a rich moisturiser \u2013 one which you\u2019ve used before to avoid any allergy or breakout mishaps.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Gone are the days of being just a pretty face. In fact, they probably never really existed. As with any other job you\u2019ll be expected to conduct yourself professionally and be polite, but you\u2019ll also have to have a lot of energy – even if you woke up at 4am and travelled for three hours in horrific traffic to be there. It\u2019s one of those things where you might not be remembered if you\u2019re quiet and get on with your job, but if you kick up fuss, act like a diva or don\u2019t cooperate, then you won\u2019t be forgotten \u2013 and you won\u2019t be asked back.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Be aware that getting up at 4am and travelling for hours may well happen. You will have choice whether you pick up jobs which are far away, or unsuitable for any reason at all.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If you\u2019re serious about making a career out of modelling, you might want to take any work you can. It\u2019s a lot easier if you live near London, as this is the UK\u2019s modelling epicentre, but some work will take you to other cities, and into the countryside. If you can drive this will be easier, although public transport can be pretty wonderful too (and then you can relax more).<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            You might think you\u2019ll make an exceptional commercial model, but if your agency tells you that your hands are beautiful, and just what their client is looking for, you should listen. Talent management agencies are there to help you, and they\u2019ve got a lot of experience. Picking your own niche can be a struggle, so take on board any advice.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \n
            1. \n

              There\u2019s like to be a struggle to pick up jobs in the early days, you might not be paid very much and your talent management agency will take a percentage of your earnings to cover their costs. If you do more work, and gain more experience your work load will increase and you\u2019ll begin being paid more – hopefully. Don\u2019t make a fuss in the early days and work hard to see the benefits later on.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \"\"<\/a>

              Modelling isn\u2019t easy, but it can definitely be worthwhile. If you put enough into your career then you\u2019re much more likely to succeed. If you make a good impression with a brand, you might get a longer term contract as an in-house model. Talk to a talent management agency to find out more about the process and for more pointers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
