Don't give them any money. Here, go to these model agency sites. They are actual things that agencies want to know (height, weight, measurements, etc). This should give you ideas. If you can type up an information sheet, you can still put it in resume form. Check the internet for samples. http://scouting.fordmodels.com/general/ http://www.wilhelmina.com/become_model_overview.cfm http://www.elitemodel.com/bediscovered.aspx?city=NY http://www.imgmodels.com/become.aspx?cityID=1 Notice that none of these very famous, very reputable and exclusive agencies ask you to send them money or ask for expensive professional portfolios. Keep this in mind. There are a lot of scammers out there.

Be very, very cautious about this agency! Legitimate agencies don't generally accept people who don't already have experience, since an agent's job is to provide clients with experienced, professional models who know what's expected of them on the job. Sadly, there are more fraudulent agencies than legitimate ones. The frauds make their money by charging for classes, head shots and other promotional materials that are completely useless. They have neither the ability nor the intention of finding anyone work. But legitimate agents NEVER ask for money up front, since they only get paid when their clients do. Legitimate agents earn a percentage of what a model is paid for a job. I strongly suspect your interview is with a fraudulent agent who makes a living preying on the hopes and dreams of young people. Those agents tell everyone who inquires that he/she "has potential", even though virtually none of them will ever work in the modeling industry. Then the would-be models are told they'll need to pay for classes, photo shoots and access to job information. But that's not how the modeling industry works. If the interviewer says you have to pay any money, you're dealing with a complete fraud. Most models start their careers at the local level, since they need experience before agents will consider representing them. If you call the main office of a local/regional store that advertises where you live, you can inquire about modeling for their ads. If you're chosen, you'll be able to build a portfolio showing you've worked professionally. You can then take your portfolio to modeling agencies who may be able to find you other work. But legitimate agents need to know their models have experience and are qualified to be sent out on jobs. Their own reputations depend on the caliber of the models they represent, so they can't afford to represent amateurs. The photographers who shoot newspaper and magazine ads work for many corporate clients, so if they like your work, chances are they'll recommend you for other jobs, enabling you to expand your portfolio. And the more experience you have when you meet with an agent, the more likely you'll find representation. I recommend doing a Google search for the agency where you have your interview, since there are ripoff reports for many fraudulent agencies on the internet. But even if you can't find information about the agency, you can be assured that it's a fraud if anyone asks you for money.
