How to Find Modeling Jobs Over the Internet

Cristina DeHart talks about the pitfalls of finding modeling jobs over the internet.

About models getting jobs over the internet. You know, the is a scary proposition, that is a scary proposition. I mean, I have been doing this for 13 years and first of all, do not know of any reputable clients that search for models that way. Do not know of a lot of agencies that are spending a lot of time searching those sites to get new models because those many models are coming to them via email and mail submissions and open calls. So, those sites, it is very scary and a lot of the people, I mean, I put my pictures up there and photography, sure photography, I got offer to a couple of little jobs but you do not know who this person is. You do not know, one, if you are going to get paid or two, if you are going to put yourself into a compromising situation. You do not know if you are going to go there and what the client is, you know nothing about them, they are just somebody over the internet. This could be someone who just wants to meet somebody. So, a lot of models are turning to that type of way to market themselves and maybe it works for some, I do not know but I do not think it is safe. I do not think it is safe and I think it is scary. I would not even do it after the amount of experience I have because I have no know way of knowing and checking on someone. That is why reputable agency representation is so important. Your agency will do that for you. Your agency has clients they have worked with for years. They do all of the billing. They do all of the leg work in getting you the jobs, in getting you the castings. They earn that 20% if they make and that keeps you safe. You know, that keeps you safe and that keeps you working. I mean, to date, I have never really been put in a compromising situation and that is because I have always gone through reputable agencies.
