Everyone else will need to contact the local administrative offices for JCPenney to find out who they work with. You need to find out their specific submission guidelines, what address to send submissions to, and what looks they're looking for. Submit your portfolio. If you've been told you can go directly through JCPenney's offices, submit your portfolio to them. It should showcase several of your best photos.
Be sure that you follow whatever instructions you were given for submissions exactly and submit any extra information they may ask for like your age and body measurements.
Watch for opportunities. Sometimes announcements for fashion show opportunities at local malls pop up, so you'll want to keep an eye out for these. You can follow JCPenney's Facebook and Twitter accounts to watch for these opportunities, as well as checking websites like Paidmodeling.
You can also stop by your local JCPenney's to inquire with the staff about a calendar for events like fashion shows and other similar opportunities. Ask a salesperson for an event calendar.
If they do not have one or know of one, ask if they can call a supervisor to a register to give you one. JCPenney also occasionally hosts modeling competitions at local and national levels; keep an eye out for these while watching the various online pages, and submit to them whenever you have the opportunity. Even if you are not able to actually model in a show, attending one as a viewer will give you the opportunity to approach either the models or someone hosting the event to inquire for more information and get your face and name out there.
Introduce yourself and ask them how models get started with JCPenney and to whom can you submit your modeling portfolio for consideration. Again, remember to be polite. Method 2. Obtain parental approval. If you are legally a minor that is, under 18 years old you will have to get your parents' approval before you can sign on with an agency.
There are a lot of benefits to having your parents' approval as well, like emotional support for stress management and the ability to get to your assignments. Have a discussion with your parents. Explain to them why you want to be a model, and why you need an agent. They have a good reputation and there are stores across the nation, so I could live and work with them anywhere in the future.

You want to show them you're mature enough to handle working, and this is part of that. Instead, ask when you might be able to revisit this conversation with them in the future.
Avoid scams. There are many illegitimate agencies out there looking to take advantage of individuals' hopes and dreams. A real agency won't ask for money from you unless you're making them money, and that includes signing fees or costly modeling classes or workshops. You should look for agents that have long-standing reputations and are large and well-known. Pick an agency that JCPenney works with. Ask the nearest administrative office for JCPenney which agencies they work with.
Since you want to work specifically with JCPenney, it will be quicker if you can successfully apply to an agency that works with them.

In addition to the top ten agencies listed before, you can find more modeling agencies and casting calls listed at Backstage. Be prepared to take jobs that are not related to JCPenney's work. Building your skills and name recognition is not a bad thing, and doing so will make you a more attractive applicant for your real end goal. Follow submission guidelines. Every agency has different requirements for desired looks and guidelines which you will be expected to follow perfectly.
Some of these guidelines may prohibit things like hats, bows, sunglasses, and food or face paint on your face, but these are just examples and not an exhaustive list.
Have a good attitude. It is important that you be very well-behaved, polite, discreet, and flexible with the agency during any in-person meetings during the application process as well as once you are contracted. No one likes to work with a diva, so a bad attitude or an inability to make it to an appointment on time or worse, failure to book any appointments due to distance can cost an agency and yourself opportunities.
It can also cause them to lose face with a client and make them reluctant to use you, and done enough, potentially drop you. Do not brag too much or exaggerate your abilities: be honest about what you can and can't do. Modeling is a career that is notorious for last-minute jobs.
Be prepared that if you want to pursue this career, even if your eventual dream is to work with JCPenney, you will have to deal with this. Because of last minute tendencies, agencies often prefer to work with talent that lives close so that if work comes up at the very last minute, their talent can still take the job. Being more than 45 minutes away from the town with most of the work could pose a problem. Always bring a positive attitude to a set because you never know what connections the client you're working with might have within the industry.
