The portfolio serves as an additional IMJ-Online feature allowing potential clients to survey over your previous work experience. The portfolio section allows you to enter your past experiences (using photos and text) as a model or actor. Portfolio entries may include, but are not limited to, runway shows, promotional events, beauty pageants, photo shoots, magazine features/covers, stage entrances and still shots from TV or movie appearances. You may provide as much information as you would like a client to know and correspond to. The portfolio feature does not serve as a tool for job-petitions or as a curriculum verite. |
||
| 3.2 | What is an IMJ-Online Bio? | |
As opposed to an IMJ-Online profile or portfolio, the IMJ-Online bio serves as a complex insight and highlights different textures of personality including a list of facts like birth, education, work, relationships, awards, achievements, dreams, desires, goals and aspirations. The IMJ-Online bio allows the client to explore character of the model behind the photo. |
||
| 3.3 | How can I cancel my subscription? | |
| You may cancel any further services and payments with us at IMJ-Online by clicking on the Worldpay or Paypal link and follow the necessary steps on how to cancel your payment with IMJ. | ||

| The IMJ-Composite Card allows bookers and outsiders to view your overall profile and the information you provided upon registration. This includes your name, age, country, physical statistics, proficiencies, languages, bio, portfolio and photos. The PDF (portable document format) composite card is a downloadable and printable shorter version of your online composite card including everything the online composite card displays except your bio and portfolio. The purpose behind IMJ-PDF Composite Card is for you to conveniently be able to send your information to clients, model agencies, bookers and casting directors via email or post mail. |
||
| 3.5 | How does the voting and score value system on IMJ-Online work? | |
Each time a new browser is opened or refreshed a photo of a model or actor appears and is available for voting. The photos appear only on a computerized random selection basis. To keep the system fair, no single photo appears on the same IP address more than once, meaning models cannot vote for themselves multiple times. The rating system is from zero (being the worst rating) through 10 (being the best rating). Judging is strictly based on the photo and appearance of the model. |
||
| 4. Photos | ||
| 4.1 | I’m trying to upload my pictures, but the system is not allowing me to do so. | |
| If you are having problems with uploading pictures, then your photo is too large. Please resize it. If you are still not able to upload the photo, then it is in the wrong format, make sure it is only in JPEG or GIF format, we only accept this format to ensure the best quality for your photos. |
