Public Relations Manager (Current Employee) – Phoenix, AZ – January 24, 2014
use this as your intro to the industry. weekly staff meetings. nice staff. owner and ceo are very nice. building needs to be updated to more of a "modeling agency" look and feel. More organization and management.
The work was very strenuous and stressful at The Young Agency.
Model and Administration Assistant (Former Employee) – Scottsdale, AZ – December 22, 2015
I had two jobs at the Young Agency as a model and as an administrative assistant. As a model, I was rarely given enough opportunities to get a good gig. All the modeling gigs were for experience not pay. The whole model/talent portion seems very precarious and seemed like a scam. As an administrative assistant I was given many jobs like on-boarding, marketing, and scheduling on top of answering the phones, maintaining emails, and greeting walk-ins. I was yelled at a lot by management which made it much too stressful. My wages broke down to about five dollars an hour which wasn't enough for all the work I was doing.
Pros
customer service experience
Cons
no breaks, no promotions, low wages, highly stressful environment, no modeling gigs
Make Up Artist (Current Employee) – Phoenix, AZ – March 5, 2015
I attended acting and modeling training and received photos. It was fun. I learned runway modeling, acting, and makeup artistry. I was involved in a fashion show and did a day of pampering for women at homeless shelter.
Professional Model (Current Employee) – Phoenix, AZ – January 20, 2015
A typical day could include traveling to different locations to model or promote fashion. I learned how to promote items of need for other designers in the industry. Working as a model, you learn from the true center of the fashion world, how every part of it works, and how each part of fashion connects together. Working with some of the top individuals in fashion, the experience is always something that is exciting and very humbling. The hardest part of the job would have to be the time periods when you are waiting for your next job.
