When you’re trying to get your foot in the door of the fashion industry, you’ll have to be cheerful, agreeable and enthusiastic to a fault - even if you’re having a bad day.

This will give them a better idea of what you’ll be like to work with on set. If you’re cheerful and up beat, then they know that you will be pleasant on the job. If you’re on time (with your book and comp cards in hand) then they will know that you’ll be responsible.

And unfortunately, it can be extremely disappointing and take an emotional toll on you. However if you go to a meeting still wearing your disappointment from a previous experience, you may run the risk of kissing that job goodbye too.
