Hello dearest readers,
I know I haven't covered all the basic topics of modeling yet, but rejection is something everybody who's trying to get into the modeling world should know about.
So you've submitted your photos & information to the agency's website or went to an open call - and were rejected.
Why?! is probably what you are asking yourself.
I was told on yahoo answers that I can be a model why didn't these professional scouts who have been in the industry for so long didn't accept to sign me when they first saw me???? azzholesss!!!!! sob sob *
hey hey hey guuurl, if this is your reaction to rejection (or something close like crying your eyes out or slapping the agent's face) you should change your attitude because your chances will be very close to nothing with that temper. WHY? Modeling is tough. The world's most famous models have been rejected, so no it's not over for you if the agency said NO.
If your reaction to getting rejected is somewhat normal you have a better chance.
Anyway, I still didn't answer the Why?! question. Although it's hard to know why for sure, here are some possible reasons. Oh and I also offer you advice on what to do in italics. You're welcome.
Why you were rejected :
How does rejection happen? With a no, a shake of the head, a delete of an email or a polite "Your not what we are looking for". That easy.
What to do?
Now you were rejected, it's not the end of the world or of anything okay? Just to make you feel better, Gisele Bundchen (yes the Gisele) was apparently rejected by 42 agents. FORTY-TWO. Also Tyra Banks, Agyness Deyn, Lindsey Wixson were all rejected by agencies.
Toughen-up, maybe make some new photos, retake your measurements and resubmit or go to that open call again, or try another agency.
The conclusion is that in modeling rejection happens everyday. If you can't deal with that maybe this ugly business is not for you. If you can shrug, say "it's okay" and then try again with more passion, well then you can make it far.

*A created complain, I didn't read it anywhere nor anybody wrote something like that to me.

Why you were rejected :
- You are 5'5" trying to get into high fashion (sorry but it's not going to happen on the runway)
- You have a great look but not what the agent's looking for. Keep trying!
- The pictures you sent in look horrible and you look horrible in them too. Make new ones (simple with no make-up,accessories or fancy dresses). Resubmit.
- Your look isn't what the market wants right now. Try another agency, or try after 6 months.
- Your submission was lost in the pool of 100000 other submissions. Yes it can happen (but rarely does) you can be annoying and resubmit. Who knows.
