Question to all....
I recieved this email, i'd like to know what you guuys think/how you would read into it. "I am just checking with you to find out if you are interested in some different types of assignments that pay $150-$1500 or more; Briefly the qualifications for some jobs are different from others and are dependent on the assignment type and the client requirements. Some assignments do not involve photography and require your presence and personall appearance and participation in/for the particular events or situations. These jobs typically are for events related to promotional/public relations/ hostessing private-public receptions/vip services/entertainment/product marketing and exhibits/training/-safety-educational demonstrations/product effectiveness spokesperson and some research projects. For economic,practical, and strategic reasons this is only offered to people who represent themselves and make their own decisions. This offer is not available to you if you are under exclusive contract with an agent, or you are a party to a management arrangement. There are a diversified range of assignments available and while there are assignments that are geared for people who prefer to be more conservative or specialized, there are also varied other assignments that might appeal to someone who is different or a bit more adventurous. When necessary round trip travel expenses will be paid subject to economic feasibility for some assignments." I guess I am just wondering why you can't be signed to an agency to do this, makes me wonder! ~Jordan Oct 01 05 05:15 pm Link What is your question? It sounds wierd to me. Does that help?

Oct 01 05 05:26 pm Link I'm sorry Jordan, I thought I answered it for you. If it was me, I would just move on and forget this one. It is so replete with red flags. It is cryptic filled with nothing but doublespeak. It talks about those who want conservative and then other kinds of things. It smells a little bit like someone looking for escorts, but I don't have enough information. I guess I don't have the best answer for you, but my feeling is that something doesn't smell right and when it smells wrong it usually is wrong.

Oct 01 05 05:42 pm Link Heyyy, I also got the same email, and yep it sounded a lil off to me too! ~Stevi Oct 01 05 05:51 pm Link if it quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, its probably a duck whether or not you're also signed non exclusive with an agency is inmaterial, in fact generally those types of events are generally booked exclusively thru agencies for economical, logistic, reasons. im in nyc, most spokesmodel jobs dont pay more than $200/day at places like the chelsea piers or javits convention center. modeling something at those types of events pay around $500/day tops, and they would NEVER fly in anyone for an event and unless you're some sort of expert in some related field, i dont see anyone paying a model to speak LOL Oct 01 05 06:11 pm Link Sounds like they're hunting for girls who want to "escort" Oct 01 05 10:26 pm Link Sounds like someone fishing for escorts. Thats my 2 cents. I would ignore it. Oct 01 05 10:32 pm Link Jordan wrote: For an introductory letter, it's too vague. Heck, even the Associate President of Uganda who has been trying to convince me to deposit an untold amount of money temporarily into my checking account is more thorough than that! ...lol Oct 01 05 10:38 pm Link Maybe SG is trying to recuit new people. Oct 01 05 10:42 pm Link Clearly testing the waters to find escorts. If you want to be an escort, I say go for it. If not, I say ignore it. Next? Oct 01 05 10:45 pm Link Tell them that you are someone who is different or a bit more adventurous and see what they have to offer. I think you will get your answer... Oct 01 05 10:55 pm Link Joe K.

Oct 01 05 11:40 pm Link yup......delete Oct 01 05 11:50 pm Link Sounds like someone who wants to "manage" a string of "models" who are a little more "adventurous" and willing to cater to a group of "clients". Probably a bait and switch scenario. Oct 02 05 01:41 am Link |
