As a creative you're always submitting your work to magazines and agencies in hopes for a call back or response. Well if you haven't been so lucky maybe this is why:
You should always be prepared to answer promptly and professionally when contacted by an agency or fellow creative willing to book you for your services.
If you're a model you will respond with your comp card and/or portfolio link. If you're a photographer, wardrobe stylist, hairstylist, and/or Makeup artist you will respond with your rates/quotes.
Asking questions and being clear about what the job entails shows that you are serious about the job at hand. Ex. date/time/location/compensation should all be discussed before booking becomes official
Do your research.
Be sure that the company/brand/model/agency or creative you are going to work with will benefit your career and add to your portfolio.
Don't sign contracts you are unsure about.
If you're a model or creative and have been pressured to sign a contract without understanding it and ended up being in a situation you were not comfortable with you are not the first one. Just know moving forward you are always in control and you have the right to ask for a lawyers advice or to prolong the signing date to when ever you feel comfortable. If it’s a “missed opportunity” don’t worry there will be many more to come

I agree with this article. Small things like responding professionally , not signing anything until you’re educated on what exactly you’re signing, and having professional portfolio and comp card done helps a lot
Do your research models!
