How to Write a
Modeling Résumé
Modeling Resume
When preparing a Model Resume, you need to keep in mind the following general
things.
•
•
•
•
•
•
In the body of your resume, use bullets with short sentences rather than
lengthy paragraphs.
Highlight your strengths and expose what is most relevant to the potential
employer.
Focus on the requirements of a Model and how you best fit them.
Never forget to write your telephone number in your Resume.
Your resume should be well readable by others, so take care of the
appropriate font size.
The contact information should be up-to-date.
When making a Model Resume, you need to take care of the following points as
well.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
In your model resume list all roles you have played in TV, dramas or college
and university.
Special skills may also be included. For example juggling and skateboarding.
You do not need to write all roles you have played but the most important
roles and events.
Mention about your other performances and emphasize on the key roles
that you have performed.
It is better to sub-divide your model resume so that each area of your
career is clearly represented.
You should mention if you have got any awards or honors in your college,
university or in your professional career.
Training and education both formal and informal should be mentioned in
detail.
Do not forget to include your picture in your resume.
Try to include those pictures in which you look more stylish.
If you are applying for a modeling job, your resume must have some of your
best modeling photos attached as this is what people are going to see t
select you. Keep your photo portfolio ready and attach the best from them
to your resume, buy pinning them up to the front of your resume.

One important aspect that you need to do is give your resume a proper
structure. Your resume structure should follow like this:
• Objective in applying for the modeling role
• Contact Details
• Overall experience in Job Summary
• Your Past Work Experiences
Make sure to include modeling shots from some of your past work projects.
This is very important particularly for those applying for a modeling
assignment for the first time. If you underwent any formal modeling
course, you should bring out such details in your resume.
If you have prior modeling experience, it’s important to selective include
interesting details of your past work n your resume. Successful modeling
assignments done in the past should be used as a reference in applying for
your current work. Past work experience counts a lot for such jobs because
the more projects you have undertaken the more experienced you are with
regards to photo shoots, lighting, camera and you will have a definitive
style in the way you carry yourself.
When bringing out details about work you have done earlier, ensure to list
such details into points. Include shots for each project so that people can
look at your in the context of your work. Your professionalism must comes
across in your resume, as a model’s job needs someone who is able to take
up the exposure that and demands of this kind of a job and yet be
successful at it. References and appreciation received in your past, will add
to your resume, so attach them when you submit it.
Be sure to give your contact details clearly and place proper line spacing
between each detail, so that they are easy to read. This way when someone
reading your resume wishes to contact you, they can quickly catch details
to do it.

How to develop a good Promotional Modeling resume
• Submit a resume that fits the job description
• Make your resume legible and professional looking, make sure there are no
typos
• Do not say you are looking for a full time position in the company when
they are hiring models for the day
• List any and all relevant training that you have taken
• List all your promotional work that you have done
• List any references that you may have, referrals from a previous product
manufacturer is worth its weight in gold.
When you get done with a job and you have done a great job, ask the manager
if they could write you a referral or if you could list them as a reference.
What should you put on your promotional resume?
I do not care about your acting experience if you are looking for a promotional
job. You should have a promotional resume that list what you have done for other
beverage manufacturers or other product manufacturers.
List any and all promotional experience you have and or any job that involved you
selling a product.
Your resume needs to show that you have effective communication and
organizational skills.
Hiring Managers want to know that you will be able to communicate effectively to
their targeted consumers and that you know how to sell and execute their
marketing objectives.

When you respond to the Hiring Manager with your objective, please do not
sound like every other girl. You need to stand out and be unique. It is important
that you don’t talk about your features such as you are outgoing, fun to be
around, energetic and responsible.
We want to know what you can do for boosting the sales of my client’s beverage
and what you have done for past clients. Your experience will set you apart from
all the features most girls list.
