This post, and this thread are so dead fucking on.
I do endless interviews all week, every week, for models and other jobs. While there is a percentage who want the work, there are many many more who waste your time. Show up late. Cancel for bullshit reasons. My personal favorite is the stomach flu, also known as drinking too much the night before.
I used that classic back when I used to drink.
Anyways, I always confirm appointments. Provide my number should they run late, need to cancel, whatever. You would be surprised how many simply do not call, then want to reschedule. I could go on and on with examples that are fucking baffling.
As I said in some similar thread a few weeks back. It has NOTHING to do with the money. I have had same issue with contractors doing construction remodeling work on the house for thousands, as the girls making a few hundred bucks for a few hours work.
Last week I had 7 clients who needed various design work done. Graphics, CSS, and some other things. I offered them to 6 different designers (some of them well recognized board 'designers') and all turned down the work.
One of the pieces to the deal was doing a couple quick, non-working, mock ups to show some different stuff. They did not have to be finished product, or even that fancy. Simple navigation things, and page layout or graphic concept.
All refused the work. In the end, sent work to a Paki. $350-750+ per job, 7 clients, turned down by the same people chasing every design job. Fucking unbelievable.
iAlien is one of them. I felt bad for his situation and offered him 2 or 3 different design jobs. Every time some new excuse. The guy is begging for business on the boards, then you throw him a bone, and he doesn't want to work. Not once. Three different times!!
Guess they would rather ambulance chase some $100 contents, and $15 banner work.
Big money, small money.. models, construction people, programmers, designers, jack of all trade types.... the behavior is the same. Like I concluded before.
Some people have a
work ethic, know how and want to work and make money.
Others just want to pretend they want to work or do any real business.
