Looking For X-Mentors

XCritic is always looking for ways to help out the industry in general. Words of wisdom from industry vets can be a part of that by YOU becoming an X-Mentor. We don't care what it is; it can be financial advice, realtionship tips, who to avoid, who to seek out, whatever you want to pen a column about and link to all of your social/subscription sites. It doesn't have to be in-depth, or wordy...it can be whatever you want it to be. What did you wish you knew when you started in this biz? Let the new people in on that. What does it cost to stay tested? Live in a model house? Makeup and wardrobe? How does that work? Who pays for that? There's a lot of questions the new talent has that need answers, why not type it up and give them a clue? Help us help them and promo yourself while you do it!
