Question
Hello, I am a senior in college and I was wondering if there were any jobs in waldorf for commerical modeling?  I am home for the summer and at the moment looking for some other jobs besides that, but I am  only about 5'6".

Answer
Usually, commercial print models work through an agency.  You can use one of the modeling agency directories - available in your local library, bookstore or online - to locate the agencies closest to you.  For the U.S., one of the best lists for agencies with commercial print divisions the Screen Actors Guild list of franchised agencies:

If the agency directory does not supply website info for the agencies you are interested in, you can use your favorite search engine to look them up.  Agency websites usually have info on what type of talent/models an agency represents (including any height restrictions) as well as submission instructions for new faces.

In larger markets there can be more work opportunities for your look, although many commercial print models work as actors and/or some other field as well.  

Good luck to you,
