Interview
I had a great experience with Car Data shadowing for the automotive photographer position. The trainer was amazing and broke everything down in a clear and concise way, which made the onboarding process seamless.
This is a fast-paced position, so if you’re not someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, it might not be the best fit. However, for those who can keep up, the opportunities here are incredible. I really appreciated the chance to earn as much as I wanted to, thanks to the commission-based structure. The increased commission on weekends is a fantastic incentive and really motivates you to put in the effort.
The tools and equipment provided were straightforward and easy to use, which is a huge plus for anyone entering this field. I believe most people could succeed in this role if they’re willing to put in the work.
Overall, the shadowing experience was excellent. If you’re looking for a rewarding role with great earning potential and clear guidance, this is worth considering!

Interview
The interview/shadow day process was very professional though unorganized with regards to the order of the pictures needed to be taken of each vehicle. I would’ve appreciated the manager giving me a thorough walk through of each photo angle to gain a proper understanding and memorization of each photo.
