Shortlist – Shortlist of models

For large productions, there is often an intermediate step before you are finally booked: the shortlist. This is where you find out whether you are on the shortlist for a job.

Shortlist procedure

First you receive a request for a job from your modeling agency. If you are available on that day, you give your option, i.e. you confirm that you are available on that date. Then the waiting period begins.

What happens on the shortlist?

A shortlist is often drawn up for large productions. This means that the advertising agencies or production companies make a smaller selection of models from which the final selection is made. For smaller jobs, you will usually be informed directly whether you are included or not. For larger projects such as major advertising campaigns or fashion shoots, it can be a little more complicated.

The role of the shortlist

The shortlist shows you that you have a good chance of getting the job because you are already on the shortlist. There are usually only two or three models left to choose from. If the photographer or producer is particularly impressed by you, they might even recommend you to the client.
