I'm curious to hear your opinions about whether or not it's a good idea to promote previous experience with a store/catalog/company. Do you think a new company might not want to hire a model that has been seen in another company's campaign? I know showing experience is good, but I worry that a new company might shy away from using my children if they have been in many shoots with another company (kind of like type "casting").

Veterans- What do you think?

It's usually just the opposite. They want you MORE when they know you've worked other places. In fact, most comp cards are comprised of tear sheets from former jobs.
