We are looking for people to work with us during graduation seasons each year in April, May, June, August, and December. We are looking for dependable people who have an energetic work style, a flexible schedule, and who can communicate cordially with large groups of graduates and their families. We are looking for photographers who have at least 1 year of photography experience using a DSLR (Digital single-lens reflex) camera.

Candidates may be required to attend an in-person interview, depending on their location and when they are hired. If hired, candidates will work with us on location and be trained on-site to take photographs. During a Trainee photographer's first year working with us, until we can get them fully trained to be responsible for covering poses, Trainee Photographers may also work as team assistants as an additional part of the training process.

· Candidates must be dependable. We expect our employees to have proper time management skills and to work event schedules that they agree to in advance. This includes having the ability to be on time and adhere to a schedule.

The pay for our incoming Trainee Photographers is $80 per graduation ceremony, and ceremonies usually last around 4 hours ( /-). That equals to $20 / hour with the ability to earn more based on performance, attitude, availability, and reliability.

o Assisting graduates with completing contact information cards
