What should I wear for an interview?

Dress professionally. Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

Actors, real people models and commercial modeling applicants: Dress to impress, business casual.

High fashion and catalogue modeling applicants Ladies, please wear high heels, wear no makeup and bring your hair up in a pony tail, wear bikini underneath clothes.

Male high fashion and catalogue modeling applicants please be prepared to take your shirt off and show your walk.

What if I have NO experience?

Don't worry- we regularly interview industry professionals as well as novices. If OMM Inc. determines that you have what it takes to work with us, we will assist you with your basic presentation skills and the organization of your portfolio, composite cards, acting headshots and resume. If you already have them, even better, we can start bookings immediately.
 

Do I need to take classes to be a model?

Absolutely not! Certainly if you are tall enough and intend to be doing runway work - it is helpful to take a workshop to learn how to work the catwalk - but you don't need to attend a so-called "modeling school."

Do keep in mind that a commercial model needs to be able to act. Acting lessons or workshops can be very helpful in teaching you how to express emotions in front of the camera.

Can OMM Inc. guarantee that I will work as a model or talent?

NO! There are no guarantees in this business. We assist and market our models for gigs and auditions, our clients decide whether a particular model or talent is suitable for that job or not.

How long does the interview take?

Plan on being at the office for at least half an hour.
 

Does an interview cost me any money?

Absolutely not! Like any other industry, you should NEVER be charged for an interview.

Does OMM Inc. pay for new talent development, pictures, headshots/composite cards or resume?

Generally, NO, we are not looking for people that have the attitude of, "if you like me you will do everything for me." This business is competitive and comes with no promises or guarantees. However, if OMM Inc. sees potential in you, they may cover the cost of the portfolio and or administrative fees.
 

How long will it take before I am making money?

Days, Weeks, Months? There are no guarantees at all - getting signed by an agency is only half the battle. Once you are signed - it can often take a while for an agency to start aggressively promoting you. You need to stay in touch with them - call them at least once every two weeks - just to check in and remind them that you are anxious for work.
