i am an X-Employee in an modelling agencies ,i have been working there for nearly 7 months and their they needed so model ,so me and few employees were given the the work of finding new faces First of all, we have to approach people on the streets and we have to lie to them! Iam very sorry to those I have lied to when I tell them there are no fees or products or training to pay for. Although this is technically correct, I did not say anything about a portfolio and the price to do a portfolio. We are more or less lying but we have to it as it is our job. We are trying to earn a living and if we do not get enough contacts, our salary is cut. It goes against our principles of not lying and we feel that we have sinned, but we cannot go against it or we will lose money. It is mentally torturing to have to tell people on the streets that there is nothing to pay for when there is the portfolio to do. It feels as if we are sinning but we have to do it as we have a contract and we need to fill our daily quota. In fact, our bosses tell us to tell people that we only scout less than 10 people a day when we actually have to scout 60 people and since the contract was done i HAVE endup from that agency..and inviting almost everyone on the streets to earn some points...so at the end of the day modeling agency end up wih a very funny database of so-called "models"
