This is where your easy going, pleasant personality and professionalism is important, not just your looks.

There are many kinds of modeling, but there are two main categories: fashion and glamour.
Fashion
The fashion industry tend to hire female models of age 18-25 (modeling is rarely a lifetime career) and between 5'8'' and 6' in height and male models 6' or over. They expect models to be slim (dress size 10) with clear complexion and good teeth. You need to be professional, reliable and committed. The going is tough, so you need to persevere, concentrate, and put up with much boredom at times.
Glamour
The glamour industry is less fussy in its demands. Work may vary from glossy magazine covers to sex mags. Much glamour work requires topless or nude work. Be particularly aware of safety issues: safety tips!
