You won't always get the job, but that's ok

"You won't always get the job, but that's ok"

By The Vintage Doll

One of the hardest things women have to deal with is low confidence and low self esteem and the daily judging from not only others around them but also themselves as well. When you add being a model on top of that and being judged highly on things you can't change like your body, your eye shape, or how long your legs are, it can be extremely hard on ones confidence. 

As models it is our job to provide the paying client with exactly what they ask for in representing whatever product they need us to show off. So even though it's hard, sometimes when we don't get the job over another model we need to keep in mind that it's ok we didn't get the job, we just weren't what the client was looking for. It will always be a little hard on our confidence level when we are turned down due to the fact that we know it's because something about what makes us who we are seemed not good enough. Models are judged off of things that make them who they are as people, like their hight or face shape so when someone says "Your not right for the job" it can be hard to swallow. Does it mean we should take it as we are not good enough or the other girl was prettier or better? Of course not!! It's a job and just like any other job out there, there is always a chance that someone will be better suited for it over us. And that's ok. There are plenty of jobs and opportunities for you to shine in. Don't let loosing out on a few jobs get your confidence level down. 

Instead look for the high points in your modeling and what you really shine in. What modeling style is your body type or look good for? Find it and study in that style so you can shine and really show off your skills.

I specialize in vintage pinup modeling because I studied it and it's my passion and what I know. So when I go to a photo shoot or job for that style I really know how to do my best in it and get the best out of my photos.

Remember that even though some people say no, it's not a personal knock against you, who you are, or what makes you a whole. Never let the loss of a modeling job, cover photo, contest or anything else in this industry take away your strength and beauty. Always keep pushing for the next thing that can make you a star!
