• Record rates of pay and durations of jobs on vouchers.57
• Work closely with photographers, fashion coordinators, directors, producers, stylists, make-up artists, other models, and clients to produce the desired looks, and to finish photo shoots on schedule.49

Most durable tasks

• Assemble and maintain portfolios, print composite cards, and travel to go-sees to obtain jobs.30

What this means

A score of 42 puts Models in the second quartile of analyzed occupations. In practice, exposure this level is about the mix: 0 of 10 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 9 augmentable, and 1 durable. The useful question isn’t “will AI take this job” — it’s which tasks go first, which get faster, and where to reposition time. That’s what the personalized report maps against your actual week.

One next move: adopt AI deliberately on the augmentable tasks and build visible evidence of the durable ones.
