With the brand’s logo as the heel, 4.3 inches of black lacquer used on boots, sandals, pumps and event belts alike. Whether in patent, glitter, crystal, studded, exotic or metallic this Fashionista staple is an absolute must-have.

Current price tag is $1,295 for the D’Orsay patent leather pump. While the ankle boot is priced at slightly higher at $1,795. Both currently available on ysl.com – among other styles. Which would you rather splurge on?

If you are an aspiring model, then you will know how important it is to stay connected with as many people as possible. After all, if you do not stay connected or in touch with big employers in the industry then this could really go against you and it could even cause you to miss out on big, important opportunities as well. On the flip side, you also need to make sure that you stay away from employers who are not going to treat you very well, and the best way for you to do this would be for you to conduct a background check.
Highlighting Criminal History
The main reason you should conduct a background check on your potential employer is because it will help you to flag any convictions that your potential employer might have had in the past. You can find out if they have a criminal conviction and you can also find out if it is worth hiring them. Sure, sometimes you may come across charges that are minor or even out of date, and if this is the case then you can choose to ignore them. Either way, making an educated hiring decision is always important because it gives you the chance to get to grips with who you are really working for.
Infractions
The best background check will also display any driving record convictions, credit problems or any other related information. Sure, sometimes a driving record might not pose much of an issue, but if you know that they are banned from driving altogether then you at least know not to get into the car with them. If your potential employer has a history of payment issues then this could indicate that you need to get paid up-front for any work that you do, so you can at least feel comfortable.
Due Diligence and Liability
If you don’t happen to run a background check on a person then you may end up making a bad decision. For example, if you work for someone who looks to have a clean record but has a history of DUI then this could be putting you at risk. You may not be able to travel to jobs with them without feeling unsafe and this can really affect your employment. This is especially the case if you are going to be working away quite a lot, modelling for different companies.
Performance
A lot of employers might be actors. They may advertise that they can do a lot more for you than they actually can, or they may stretch the truth to make them look like good agents. This is the last thing that you need, so background checks are always useful here. You can find out more about a person and you can also build up a much bigger and more accurate picture. It also means that you can cut through the façade and know truthfully if they are a person who you really want to be working for.
Drug Use
If you are a professional, then you won’t want to be working for anyone who is under the influence. This could put you in a bad situation and you may even find that it impacts your job performance too. This could be the result of them not showing up on time or even them behaving badly. Background checks can easily help you to find out if someone has been known for drug problems in the past and it can also help you to find out if they are well and truly reputable.
Education
Employer history isn’t the only thing that you need to be verifying. When you conduct any background checks, you also have to make sure that the employer who you are working for has the right certification. This comes back to the point of people putting on a façade. It’s important that you take your time and that you really make sure that someone has all of the credentials that they promise. Did they really study modelling at an established organisation? Only a background check will let you know for sure, so you have to keep this in mind.
Peace of Mind
The last thing that you need is to worry about whether you can truly trust someone. When you conduct a background check you can find out once and for all. You can also know if they are, as mentioned above, free from drugs or if they have a criminal past. Sure, at the end of the day, most people are trustworthy but there are people who aren’t and the last thing that you need is to be working with someone who doesn’t really meet your expectations. If you do, then you will be wasting your time and your money.
