Guava TM prides itself on providing its members with everything they need to make a real success of themselves in the industry, now and in the future. Members often ask for extra tips and advice on how to really stand out from the crowd, so we wanted to share the benefit of our years of industry involvement and expertise with ten simple steps for success:
1. Never, ever be late for a casting or job! If there's one thing that creates a bad impression, and makes it least likely a casting director will ask you back, it's this.
2. Do a bit of research into the company you're working or casting for, as showing that you've taken the time to find out a bit about the role shows you are willing to go the extra mile to be the best.
3. Always prepare adequately for a shoot, by eating well and drinking enough water in the days leading up to it, and avoiding alcohol and sun exposure wherever possible.
4. Follow a sensible diet and exercise regime, and keep your drinking in check -free champagne is often available and shoots and networking events, so it can be easy to over-consume.
5. Always be polite, courteous and friendly to everybody you meet - from senior casting directors to admin assistants and tea-boys. You don't know who will be where in a few years' time, and everyone always remembers a friendly face.
6. Keep your online or printed portfolio regularly updated with studio shots, on-location shots, and tear sheets from all your campaigns.
7. Don't limit yourself, and apply to all vacancies you're suitable for. Even if you don't get the job, you never know who you'll meet at the casting.
8. Make sure your CV is up-to-date and well written, and it is easy for clients to see all your experience and what you have to offer.
9. Do regular industry research, by buying all the relevant publications like Stage magazines.
10. Enjoy yourself! The modelling and entertainments' industry is one of the most exciting there is, and all the hard work shouldn't interfere with you having a good time.

Guava TM Loves Valentine's Day!
Guava TM is feeling the love in the run up to Valentine's Day, with a huge upsurge in demand for models and extras for Valentine's events.
We're still looking for an additional 3 promotional models for a major fashion show over the Valentine's weekend, with an international fashion wholesaler. This event will run over all three days of the Valentine's weekend, and will take place in London's Olympia Stadium. It will involve modelling all the latest examples of the range, plus meeting and greeting a big network of important clients, so it represents a great opportunity to make connections.
If you think you've got what it takes to be one of the faces of this exciting campaign, email us with your application at castings@guavatm.co.uk.
We're also working closely with the designers of the latest indispensable celeb accessory, who are planning a big Valentine's Day campaign. They will be distributing their jewellery and accessories on a special 'golden heart' basis, and one in every hundred accessories purchased will contain an exclusive VIP pass to one of this year's elite celebrity events.
They are looking for attractive and sociable guys and girls to promote the product at a range of music, style and launch events, and have asked us to provide at least 10 models from the 10th of February onwards. Successful candidates are likely to be offered ongoing work with the company.
