This is even more so in the modeling industry because there is always a flood of fresh talent. You could be replaced before you could even say the word "tantrum"! Try to be pleasant always. When a client has a lovely experience working with you, chances are they will call you specifically for repeat jobs. You never know, you may even end up being a designer's muse. This would be guaranteed work for even four seasons! Research on the best modeling agencies to sign up with and visit them regularly; hopefully, they will snap you up.
