Myths and Reality
Myth: "They're hiring everyone."
Reality: Competition is huge. Clients are becoming more selective. Professionalism and uniqueness are now valued, not just a "European face".
Myth: "Easy money."
Reality: It's hard physical labor. Parties interfere with work. If you look tired, the client will not choose you again.
Myth: "It takes anorexia."
Reality: For fashion, the parameters are strict. But for catalogs (e-commerce), clients prefer a healthy, trim look. Clothes should "fit" beautifully.
