Now that I’ve written about my ever-so-wonderful summer internship experience with miss Courtney, it’s time to post a casting call for Fall 2010. I thought I’d be able to do it on my own, but then when I updated this….
…I realized I was probably going to need some help. So! For those of you interested in this internship opportunity, here are the details:
Start & End Dates: 09/09/2010-11/19/2010
Work Days (in office): Mon-Fri from 9am-1pm (*unpaid)
Work Days (wedding days): 9/11, 9/25, 10/9, 10/16, 10/23, 10/30, 11/6, 11/13 (*paid at $15/hr from start of wedding to end of wedding)
Basically when you are in my office, we will be editing (a lot), doing emails, customer service, ordering, packaging, shipping, etc… and that will be from 9am-1pm. I would encourage bringing your notebook, iPad, laptop, or whatever to take LOTS of notes. I am VERY generous with the information I give out to people who help me and so be prepared to learn lots. I will do everything I can to help you with whatever it is that you need help on. I shoot manually and process naturally and so I will help you achieve that. You may need to be prepared to spend the money, if applicable, on getting a website, blog, marketing, equipment, software, etc… I will tell you what works for me and pass that on to you and help customize it to fit your personal needs. You must be prepared to work hard, learn lots, and did I say work hard?
My ideal intern would be someone who learns quickly, is attentive, organized, and diligent. You must also possess a random and sarcastic sense of humor, have the ability to laugh at just about anything and you must immediately fall in like love with my children the minute you meet them.
As far as wedding day shooting, some will be in town, and some may be on road trips that may or may not require spending the night. $15/hour will be paid from the time the wedding starts to the time the wedding ends. No pay will be given during driving, or spending the night. We will pay you in good times, I promise (haha).
I would prefer the intern be in or near Charlotte, NC however if you are coming from out of state, you would need to rent out your own place nearby and cover your own costs for living.
If all that looks and sounds good to you, then here is what I need from you:
Name, phone number, email, picture of yourself, age, attach your top five favorite images, list of photography equipment you own, any other random details about yourself that will help me get a feel for you. Please email and include everything I asked to my email address at: caroline@carolineghetes.com. If any information is missing, I may skip you, so please included all I ask or more. Just not less. Please apply no later than August 31, 2010. I will make my final decision on September 1, 2010.
If you are hired, here’s my home studio and where you will be working:
Lastly, I had to share this wonderful card I received from Courtney, my previous intern, whom I will miss SO MUCH!
I can’t wait to “meet” all of you and find out who you are!
*please do not apply if there is any off-chance that you might change your mind last-minute. I just don’t have the time to deal with flakiness
