1. What is the name of your profession (position)? My profession is called “director of a modeling agency”. 2. What is your job and what are your responsibilities? The duties of the director include not only monitoring the promotion of models and finding work for them, but also supervising the work of the model school. Make a curriculum, monitor the work of the manager and teachers. Control the receipt of tuition fees. Work with parents of students. Meet with customers. Organize castings, photo shoots, presentation events and beauty contests. Support the press. 3. What education is required to get your position? No special education is required for this position. It is enough to have experience in administration in the field of modeling and show business. 4. Describe your working day. Every working day starts with planning. You need to write a plan for the manager (who to call, what meetings to set up). Several hours a day are devoted to finding work for existing models - monitoring vacancies, castings, etc. If there are already orders for the performance of a particular job, organize the execution process. For example, an advertising photo shoot is ordered. It is necessary to organize a casting of models for the customer, so that he chooses a suitable model, find a photographer (there are several who constantly cooperate with us), agree on the interior, find the necessary props and set the shooting time. It happens that one day is not at all like another - today is one thing, and tomorrow is another. 5. How comfortable are your working conditions (all day outside, or in the office with a cup of coffee)? Working conditions change every day. Today you spend the whole day in the office, tomorrow you have two meetings with potential partners, for example, in a restaurant, and after tomorrow you spend the whole day on the set. 6. What do you like most about your job? What I like most about my business is when you get satisfaction from a well-organized process, when, for example, a beauty contest or another event ends, you understand that everything went smoothly and smoothly thanks to your organizational skills. 7. What do you dislike most about your job? But I don’t like it when employees do not treat the task with such zeal as you do, and the work is not done, and you have to take on a lot, because you can’t trust anyone else. It seems that because of the piled work you will not be able to do anything and there is simply not enough time of day. This is what I don't like. 8. If it's not a secret, what is your salary level (is it enough to write whether you are satisfied or not)? The level of payment directly depends on the amount of work performed. I like. 9. Describe your team, what kind of people work with you? Our agency has a great team. Teachers of defile, choreography, acting, manager. The photographers with whom we constantly collaborate are not on the staff, but we consider them to be in our team. 10. What human qualities, in your opinion, are most important in your business? needbut have organizational skills, the ability to take responsibility, the ability to talk and negotiate with people (both with the parents of students and with customers), have firmness of character and some rigidity when communicating with models. 11. Work gives me additional opportunities (everything that work gives you except money, from self-expression and communication with interesting people to the opportunity to visit different countries). My work provides an opportunity for self-expression, communication with many interesting people - pop stars, heads of international modeling agencies, bohemians, etc., as well as the possibility of traveling abroad. 12. Do you have the opportunity to evaluate your work on a five-point scale, what grade would you give? Sometimes it seems to me that I would rate my work - "six" on a five-point scale. 13. Why did you choose this job? I came to my work not by chance, because. I'm not interested in doing the same thing every day. 14. What are the opportunities for your career development? In the future, I'm thinking of becoming a co-owner, opening my own company. 15. What do you think we did not include in the plan and what else would you like to share with us? Interesting: “Is another profession limited by the time of the working day (from 9 to 18) or is your profession your way of life?”. For me, it's a way of life.
