Face National Models and Talent
To Whom It May Concern:
Last year around April I went to an open call for Face
National Models and Talent.
A speaker named Carey was there. He was very flamboyant
about how he used to model, and said he had modeled everything
under the sun.
Carey did his sales pitch and asked us to individually
come up to the front and do a pose. He asked us questions,
smiled, and asked us to be seated.
Then after everything was done he asked those people
who had call backs to attend the second open call later
that night.
At the second open call, Carey did his spiel again and
told us how many companies needed models in my area (San
Jose, California), and that they needed models right
away.
He insisted on getting pictures done, but I already
had my portfolio and comp cards done, and I had them
in hand.
Well, he didn't look very happy, because I wasn't going
to do my cards with them.
He took my card and gave me a number to call in the
morning.
I called in the morning and I was told that I was one
of the models that had been chosen.
So I handed them my comp cards and went on my merry
way.
Three months went by and I received no call...
Six months went by and I received no call.
After six months I had finally had enough.
I called their office. I was told that the reason why
I had not heard from them was because they had a new
booker of clients.
I asked her: "How many cards do I have on the wall?"
"Fifty," she answered.
So I knew they were not going to find me work.
I asked for my cards back and they returned them. That
was the only thing they did right.
I learned my lesson. Now I am signed with three legitimate
agencies and I have done some work.
