it's not abnormal either... signing with an agency is zero guarantee that you'll actually book jobs. And in the small market that she is in and with the type of model she is, and the type of agency she's talking about, it's not unusual.

which one will get you more work?

I have no idea.. I know I should be able to book more work than now, as I did book a job about each month at my previous agency, but they switched to being a fashion-only agency so they had to let me go.

what type of work did you do for that agency when you were working more?

out of the 2 agencies you're chosing now, which agency has clients that resemble the type of clients you used to work for frequently?

I worked for M.A.C for a press presentation and did some other presentations to show off clothing or accessoires. I suppose agency A would fit more into that, as B only focusses on hair assignments. They also have more models than A, but I don't know if that's a good, bad or neutral thing.

a lot of models, hm... are they all working?

I'm not really sure, they sort of have two divisions; one more 'fashion' orientated and one purely for hair assignments. I know one girl from the fashion division, and she seems to be doing okay, but I don't know any of the other girls. Communication is also not great (I asked if it's correct my pictures aren't up yet and if there are any jobs coming, but didn't get a reply).

Agreed, and also then not doing the job they offered her, is going to make them want to work on her behalf even less.

huh? she wasn't available that day. it happens. agencies ask for availbility and it doesn't always work out. no big deal (unless it happens all the time)

It was one job, for 6 days of presentations, which meant I would miss a lot of school days. Considering this is my last year at uni, I can't miss that many.

Maybe this isn't the agency for you if they send you on only one casting and the one job they find you, you can't do.

It's not a big deal if you can't accept 5% of the jobs offered you, but if you can't do 100% (as in this case) - it's a big deal.

If you can't do that kind of 6 day work schedule because of your school, the bookers should already know that about you and shouldn't even be submitting you for that kind of work. Again - maybe bad fit between you and the agency.
