In a world where job seekers submit their CVs with the hope they stand out amongst the hundreds of other applicants, it’s refreshing to know there are some part-time and full-time opportunities still available that rely on enthusiasm and dedication, rather than school grades, university degrees or experience.
We know that school exams are critical, and university degrees go a long way to finding the perfect career. Sometimes, though, it’s nice to have the option of overseeing your own destiny and accepting jobs only when it suits. And that’s what our commercial models can do when they register with us.
When we say that models can influence their own destiny, we mean that they don’t need any experience in the world of commercial modelling, and that they’re in control of their own Models Direct portfolios, which should be updated regularly with eye-catching photos and relevant reels to appeal to the brands we work with.
To say that our commercial models don’t need experience is not to say that the selection process is a free-for-all. It’d be unrealistic – and a little strange – if every single model applied with a modelling employment agency was chosen by clients immediately after registering. Being selected can be influenced by models posting relevant images on their portfolios and putting in effort researching the industry, the agency, and the clients they work with. It won’t happen overnight.
However, we have partnered thousands of first-time models with many brands – both multinational companies and ambitious newcomers – and so debut models do get offered modelling jobs with us regularly.

Why can our models enjoy nationwide jobs without ever having previous work? Surely experience is instrumental, just like CVs and covering letters illustrating an applicant’s proficiency? Can any registered model work with our brands without an ounce of experience?
Our models are determined and talented – experience or not. We can recommend the right models to our huge medley of brands because they are looking for “everyday” people of all ages…people just like our readers and our models who have registered. Our clients are not usually interested in catwalk models; they constantly need people who can engage with viewers and readers – basically, the public. Lots of our clients operate in industries that are hugely popular with millions of consumers. We’re referring to the hospitality sector, the retail industry, and general consumables, as well local and national charities and councils. Our clients depend on believable, talented commercial models to pose, act or display in various assignments throughout the UK. And because we’ve placed plenty of first-time models in those jobs, we know that experience is not required.
We need models – just like you, and our other readers, as well as those who are curious about the commercial modelling industry. We need models to satisfy the demand, which has always been high, and has been on the rise for some time.
No experience is really no problem. There are no barriers to becoming a Models Direct model. And remember – if you’re not selected at first, bear in mind that competition is high, but success is attainable.
