The first climbing step to reach movies is of course, the ad
world. So, in case you are not getting your platform for entering
the movies line in Mumbai, you can always go for a modeling
career
instead, first and then get into the movies. Almost all the ad
models will sometime or other get offers for movies.
Alternatives, watch the talent shows and contents that are
abounding nowadays to make yourself visible. Leading producers
too are always open to new talent.

A word of caution though, since a lot of money and glamour
(read exposure) is involved, young girls are advised to always
move around with a chaperone, to cut off the chances of sexual
abuse or possible molestation from intermediaries.
For those who find acting as extremely important in their
life, there is the theatre. The Prithvi Theatre is one of the
oldest theatres of India and an excellent showcase for real
talent. A great number of today's veteran actors had once been
part of this grand theatres repertoire. Here the pay is not
great, but the acting challenges are great and the satisfaction
you can gain from it is beyond words.
A
career on ships
Mumbai is a well known destination and starting point for a
number of luxury
cruisers. A career on the ship is extremely rewarding both
from the point of job satisfaction as well as pay. A career
on a luxury cruiser is equivalent to that of a stewardess (air
hostess). You get to go to many places and cover many
destinations, besides being paying handsomely. The downside here
can be that you will have to work really hard as the jobs on the
ship are very demanding, sometimes involving more than 12 hours
of work per day.
A career as a courier agent
This is another glamour driven job, though on a much lower
scale than the above two. Tough it can turn sometimes a bit
monotonous, since you will be given one sector in which you will
function for a long time, this involves flight to a destination
as a courier agent. There you will have all your stay and
boarding arranged and all you will have to do till your flight
returns is to see the city and shop duty free. Great way to earn
your living.
For those who wish to apply directly to the companies, you can
definitely do so. Many companies advertise on their own websites
when and what vacancies they have. It is good to apply directly,
though a placement agency will help you better.
