I think you're overestimating the amount of times other people in your SA class will ask you interview style questions like what are you passionate about/why finance etc... I wouldn't overthink this, you don't need to bring it up at all if you don't want to, and in the unlikely event that someone both finds the shoots & publicly admits they stalked you online then just have a laugh about it with them

 

Thank you for your input Dean! I'm not so much worried about being asked "interview style questions" again, I'm simply worried about them just getting to know me. My modeling is like my trophy, my most prized possession, my fire, it's hard not to mention it when socializing or something. It's like if you won the Nobel peace prize.. it kinda just comes up a lot & it's the reason you do what you do.

 

It's great you're passionate about it but equally you kinda have to look at this from the perspective of the rest of your class. they probably see modelling as a completely different world to being behind a desk and have no insight into it at all. Hence why its important to keep a sense of humour about these things and avoid coming off as if your whole personality revolves around being a former model.

 

Just don’t fish off the company dock.

Don’t hook up with coworkers.

You’re overthinking this. Just do your best work, present well, speak well. Really just put in 100% effort. Which I assume you were going to do anyway and no one will judge you or think you’re stupid. I mean how could they? Also, and this is just my personal opinion, if I found out you were a model I would think it’s cool, I don’t see why your co-workers would think different. If they still think you’re “a dumb model” after all that than that’s their problem.
