OTM (On Track Modeling)
To Whom It May Concern:
I read an ad for OTM in the newspaper. It says "Only
30" will be accepted, come at 7 pm to the Holiday
Inn.
Well, this woman comes in like she's a diva, she even
called herself that, lol!
She gave a long filibuster on how there are modeling
scams, and how OTM is not one, and how well OTM is doing
in the modeling business.
It got boiled down to the photography, when she said, "You
can use your own photographer—I have some numbers
of two guys: one who charges $1,000 and the other, like
$2,500. But she said she has one who shoots photos of
famous stars and whatnot—he'll come and do it for
you for $569.
"Well," she said, "since I'm back at
my hometown, I want to give some love. I'll have the
photography be free!"
I was like, "Awesome!" But in the end I'd
still have to pay out $419, or $369, if you pay all up
front.
"Save $50 dollars," it said, "if you
pay upfront."
That sounds messed up; it's like they want your money
fast. If you don't you'll have to pay out more because
you didn't go with plan A. Stick to plan B, which is
payments, you'll have to pay $50 more.
Also, you have to pay $20 dollars a month for "Maintenance" to
have your pictures/profile on their website? Why would
I be paying them money for this? That is far out. It
should be free, it doesn't cost them anything.
At the end of the open speech filibuster, we all had
a number on our page, we go in, 5-10 into a line, meet
this diva. She'd ask us 3 questions:
1) on a scale from five too ten, how would you rate
your people skills?
2) do you have any noticeable scars or tats?
3) she asked you to smile for her and well then she
asked to see our hands for some hand modeling thing that
was going on locally.
I called, and only 25 people (not 30) were picked, they
said, and I was one of the ones picked, out of 75 people.
This was all being held in a room at the Holiday Inn,
in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
I was very 'put down' when I read such bad things about
OTM, my exciting moment was knocked down because such
bad things are being complained about this company.
I'm very disappointed, but at least I can go on that
I bested 50 other people. I feel sorry for the 24 other
people, hopefully they'll make the same wise decision
like I am and find an agency that's IN OUR CITY!
