Hello,Having a professional resume and cover letter is essential for any model who wants to be taken seriously in the industry. A modeling resume highlights your experience, skills, measurements, training, and past bookings in a clear and organized way, making it easy for agencies and clients to quickly evaluate your background. Just like it’s important to have a professional resume and cover letter when submitting for castings in this industry. Whether or not you apply with it or not, you will need it for the audition or interview. Your resume highlights your experience, skills, and any relevant training, helping casting directors quickly understand your background. Your cover letter allows you to introduce yourself, show your personality, and explain why you’re a great fit for a specific opportunity.
Together, these materials help you stand out, present yourself professionally, and increase your chances of being noticed and selected for roles.
Here are the instructions so you can get started!
Cover Letter:
Your cover letter is a brief introduction. It should only be one paragraph. In your paragraph you're going to state why you would want to work with that company or why you would like to model. Moving forward into the paragraph you would state your talent, skills, or anything interesting about yourself. Make sure to thank the reader for taking the time to review your resume.
Resume:
A modeling resume is a one-page document that highlights your modeling experience, physical stats, and relevant skills so agencies and casting directors can quickly see if you’re a good fit for a job.

Navigate to your Talent Guide and select a casting platform to begin applying.
You may choose from both free and paid options depending on your preference. Casting websites can be found in your talent guide 32. I will list a few below as well.
Independent Modeling
Independent modeling/acting means working as a freelancer, finding your own jobs, and keeping 100% of your earnings. Independent models and actors typically find work in the beginning by being proactive, consistent, and treating their craft like a business. They submit themselves to casting calls on reputable platforms, and build relationships within the creative community through networking and collaborations. Some of the reputable casting websites do charge a subscription fee, the reason why is you are an independent model who needs a platform to promote your business, they provide you a page on their website to do so.
Here’s how Independent models/ actors find work-

(Model Search Tips)
When searching for opportunities online, use specific keywords to narrow your results. Be sure to search within the three major cities closest to you and include the type of modeling you are seeking.
Examples:
Open casting calls for male/female models for catalogs in [City 1, City 2, City 3]
Open auditions for male/female models for fashion shows in [City 1, City 2, City 3]
You can also find opportunities on Eventbrite, Google, Facebook, and Instagram.
Agency Representation
Models signed with agencies are represented by agents who help secure work on their behalf. Agency representation typically involves a commission split between the model and the agency.
(Tips for applying to Agencies)
Most agencies accept submissions directly through their websites. Look for links such as “Get Discovered,” “Apply,” or “Become a Model.” Carefully review each agency’s submission guidelines before applying to ensure you have all required materials prepared. The application process generally takes 5–10 minutes.
Be sure to:
Track where and when you apply
Apply with your digitals (from your webready folder)
Follow up 2–3 weeks after submitting by sending the agency an email
Research agencies thoroughly before sharing personal information
