Two other important aspects that clients take into consideration when hiring E3 promotional models, are their experience level and physical appearance. Therefore, make sure your resume includes of all your trade show gaming experience as well as your most up-to-date portfolio photos and event photos. If you have events photos of gaming trade shows or promotions you’ve worked in the past, be sure to include them!
Tip: If you DO NOT have professional photos, don’t panic; instead have a friend or family member take a photo of you standing in front of a solid background. This will act as a substitute for professional photos.
Make Sure You Meet the Show’s Requirements
E3 has strict policies when it comes to their attendees and exhibitors. In order to attend, you must be a member of the gaming industry, have the proper identification, and be at least 17 years of age.
