I follow up leads, I harrass agencies and photographers to send me to castings.. I’m always working even if at home searching Craig’s list or following other job postings. I’m on time and curteous to those I’m working with. Some girls don’t take this job seriosly. I always hear complaints from photographers that so and so was 2 hours late or just didn’t show up, never bothered to call or has a divatude. I don’t understand it. Some girls are given great opportunities and screw things up without a care to the world. Give me that booking…I’ll do a great job, because my paycheck depends on it.
