I graduate in a few days. I am trying to be a teacher, I've been in the school for awhile now to be a teacher, and just like any other soon-to-be graduate, I am trying to get a job in my field. I've been applying. And applying and applying and applying. I've sent emails and made phone calls. I've had two interviews out of the six jobs I've applied to for teaching in my field.

5 Things That Helped Me as a Model
When I first started modeling, I had no clue as to what I was doing. I didn't have a manager or mentor to help me book gigs. I studied my favorite models (Chanel Iman, Sessilee Lopez, Arlenis Sosa, etc.) and always copied their poses in my bedroom mirror.

I begged my mom to sign me up for modeling school and before I knew it, I was enrolled.

Some of these things you have no control over—for example, if there are too many applicants for a single position, then many who qualify for the job will have to be turned down. Likewise, candidates with more experience or connections could get the nod over you and unfortunately there is very little you can do about that either.
