Easy interview

I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at JCP Portraits (Sterling Heights, MI) in Jun 2012

Interview

I dropped my application off in person. 1 week later I got a call saying that the manager would like to interview me. She asked why I wanted to work there. How was I with children. How do you deal with a screaming child. What's your background in photography. What's my availability. The manager was kind and didn't ask hard questions. She said she had to do a background check but that if that came back clean then I had the job.
