Hi all,
Doing my summer at a boutique and have been doing some light work on the model. Friend told me that having modeling experience is a bigger liability than a help for recruiting for SA next summer. Apparently they throw a lot of technical questions about modeling in interviews.
Is this true? Am I best off leaving it off my resume? If I wanted to leave it on resume, what sorts of questions should I be prepared for?
Thanks!

Great question, also interested
I would say it is better to have it on there, just because there are a lot of early undergrad SA's like myself doing a boutique IB internship like you and do not have access to modeling work, and that aspect alone, is a huge disadvantage for us. At least that is what people on WSO say.. I think having on the job modeling experience, even to a minimal degree, is very good and will set you up well
