I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at JCP Portraits (Rego Park, NY) in Jan 2008
Interview
It was my first experience applying for a job and I really couldn't have asked for a friendlier interviewer. She was going through a tough time. I believe her mother was in the hospital. However, she was nothing but nice to me from the start of the interview. She reviewed the information I had written down on a paper questionnaire, before giving me an overview of what would be expected of me in the position. She also made me sell her back her own pen, as part of an exercise to see how well I could push a product. After that, we walked into a separate room and practiced shooting subjects (a teddy bear and various other objects). Thankfully, she had a sense of humor about my poor focusing and gave me helpful tips right off the bat. My technique improved within ten minutes. The next day, I got a call asking me when I wanted to start.
