Pick a clean, professional template for a Clothes Model. Use reverse-chronological or hybrid layouts so your experience and looks come first. These layouts help hiring managers scan key info fast and help applicant tracking systems parse your file.
Keep length tight. One page fits entry-level and most mid-career models. Use two pages only if you have long runway seasons, campaigns, and editorial credits that matter.
Use ATS-friendly fonts like Calibri or Arial. Set body text to 10–12pt and headers to 14–16pt. Leave white space around photos and sections so the page breathes and recruiters can find details quickly.
Use standard headings: Contact, Summary, Experience, Portfolio/Lookbook, Measurements, Skills, and Education. Put your agency contacts and key credits under Experience for clarity. Keep section order to match what casting directors care about.
Avoid complex columns, heavy graphics, or embedded objects. Those elements often break parsing and make your resume hard to read on mobile. Stick to simple bullets, short lines, and consistent spacing.
Common mistakes you should skip: cluttered layouts, tiny fonts, long paragraphs, missing section headers, and non-standard file types. Export as PDF unless the casting call asks for a Word file. Name the file with your name and the role so it’s easy to find.
