Today, I was waiting in the lobby of a modeling agency for my interview to be a potential model and I was next in line. They called "NEXT!" and I walked in with a smile on my face. They stared at my face for a moment and then started yelling "NEXT". FML

Today, I walked into a door on my way in to an interview, in front of the interviewer and a group of people waiting to be interviewed. FML

Today, I went to the mall with two friends. A modelling scout approached us and asked both of my friends if they were interested in modelling. When the scout finally noticed me, she asked if I was their mom. We're all the same age. FML

Today, I was at the mall with my friend. A lady came up to us and told my friend that she could be a model. Then the lady looked at me and said, "Oh... Nice shoes." FML

Today, I went in for I thought would be an interview for a promotion, but turns out there was no interview set up, and they'd already decided who would be the next manager. FML

Hey!

Today, I was waiting in line at a clothes store when someone cut in in front of me, and the gentlemen in front of me. I shouted, "Hey! Queue starts back here!". He responded by pointing out the "gentlemen" in front was actually a very realistic mannequin. FML

Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML

Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML

Today, I showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML

Today, I had an important interview. On the way there, I stopped in front of a car window to look at my reflection, checking I didn't have salad stuck between my teeth. Having pulled several faces, I realised that there were two girls inside the car, cracking up with laughter. FML

Today, I was walking with my girlfriend, when she walked ahead of me cat-walk style, turned around and said, "Do you think I could model?" I blurted out, "Yes... for a plus-size clothing line." FML

That's the industry.

That's the way the business is... don't take it personally. You just don't have the right "look" for them. It's actually very common to be treated like this when you're a model.

For those of you assuming you think you know what the OP looks like just because they said they were rejected, go **** yourselves. Every modeling agency is looking for something different, whether it may be swimsuit models or fashion models. The type of modeling the OP was hoping to pursue wasn't clarified. Don't make an ass out of yourself by assuming.

Guess you just weren't what they were looking for. Try another agency?

Might want to consider a different career... not everyone can be a model you know.

Meh, YDI for thinking that you were pretty enough. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there isn't enough of your eyes out in the world, so let's go BAAAAWWWW on fmylife.com to get pity points.

Ohh, lovely when people who think they're pretty but actually aren't get something they deserve! Nothing is more annoying than those brats >< But perhaps you are pretty, in which case it sucks but.. well that's life, at least you're still pretty XD

Pretty sure it probably wasn't personal. That's kind of the way the industry works. As other people were saying, they more than likely had a specific look in mind and you did not fit into it. If modeling is something you seriously want to do, it's not going to be easy. You'll just have to get used to rejection.

OMG, you were turned down for a modeling job because of your looks!!!1!! Coz so many magazines use models that aren't good looking, but they are really nice once you get to know them.
