The interview.
Sandra Moon stared at the blank door heart racing with a combination of trepidation and anticipation. She recalled the phone interview in response to the advertisement asking for models. The lady on the phone asked what modelling experience she had and her last job. Finally she was asked to send some swimsuit photos and selfies. Two days late she received an email with a train ticket to Prague and an offer to come for a face to face interview. Now she was here, 5 hours from her home town alone and almost broke. She faced a number of debts at home she had no way of meeting, her car registration was due, the landlord wanted the three weeks late rent and had already demanded she comes up with the money by the end of the week or he would be throwing her stuff on the street. She had already negotiated postponement by allowing him to watch her as she took of her top and flashed her boobs in his grease face. She hated him for that but at least her did not touch her. She knew that any further suspensions would be for him to allow liberties with her body but she knew he would not forgive her the late rent so she needed this job.
The sign on the door only showed the name and title of the lady she spoke to, 'Kate McLean, Entertainment Agent'. She pressed the buzzer and the door emitted that electronic buzz that indicated that the lock was temporarily disengaged, she pushed the door and entered. In front of her were the stairs and she could see an office door, painted off-white, she recognised it as Alabaster from the paint samples her last boss had her review when he repainted his office. She missed that job, Steve had been a kind boss but when he got sick he had to close the business and she was no longer required as a Personal Assistant. There were no other jobs with her limited qualifications. So her savings ran out quickly. It was amazing how a colour on a random door could bring on those memories and emotions.
She quickly ascended the stair and knocked on the door, she waited the 15 to 20 seconds before gently opening the door to see if anyone was there.
The office was the usual corporate office with the same alabaster coloured walls, a desk in the centre of the room, and some emotionless pictures on the wall.
Behind the desk sat a middle-aged woman dressed in a business outfit. She smiled and asked Sandra to come in,
"Please take a seat", she indicated the black leather couch against the wall. Sandra noted that there was a camera on the desk facing her, she could not immediately tell if it was recording.
"We will be recording the interview, if that is OK with you?", Sandra nodded her head and responded, "Sure."
"We record these interviews so I can present these to other agents and directors to see if you are a good fit for their projects, I have contacts all over the world right here in Prague as well as France, Japan and even a few in California. If you meet our requirements you could be travelling to any of these places for a video or photoshoot, is this something you are interested in?"
"Yes please", the now desperate young woman responded.
"Do you want to introduce yourself? Your name, age and where you are from."
As Sandra's spider-sense tingled a bit she decided not to use her real name, a stage name would have to do, she knew that if a contract was presented she could use here real name then. She decided on Eleanor after a character she recently saw on a TV show.
"Hi, my name is Eleanor, I am 19 and currently live in Ostrava." Sandra noted that Kate raised her eyebrows.
"Tell me why you are interested in modelling?"
OK, time to make stuff up, best not to sound desperate for the money, "My friend saw your ad online and reminded me that I used to want to be a model, I kinda forgot about that as I grew up. She helped me to take the photos using her iPhone. Before I knew it she logged on and submitted the application."
Kate interrupted her and asked, "Did you feel pressured in coming here?"
"No, while I was a little taken aback, I was fully involved and aware."
"Do you have any relationships that may affect your ability to attend photo or film shoots?"
