I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at JCP Portraits (Tukwila, WA)
Interview
Applied online through Lifetouch photography's website (they provide photographers to JCP and several other studios) I received a call within an hour and the interview was scheduled that day. The interview and job seemed very focused on sales rather than photography. I didn't have experience in sales so the manager asked me to sell him his pen. A few other general questions. I received a call on monday (interview was on saturday) offering me the job, but I declined.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you add to our team/why should we hire you?
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at JCP Portraits (Sterling Heights, MI) in June 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.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at JCP Portraits in June 2010
Interview
I dropped off the application in person to the studio manager who reviewed it in front of me and scheduled the interview for later in the week. During the interview, the manager asked me about my photography experience, retail experience and if I had experience working with children. The manager proceeded to tell me about what the position entailed, what the salary was and what the training process would be like. I was told during the interview that once my background check went through I would hear back and could begin training. Advice I would give to someone interviewing would be to highlight your experience with children and retail.
