Organic Headshots needs an Intern.

This week I spent several days on-site at clients' offices taking photos of their staff. After 41 headshots in 3 days came out looking spectacular, I was absolutely beat and even a little sore. I came to two conclusions this morning:

1. I'm slightly out of shape and need to build my weak little muscles up a bit.
2. I need an assistant.

So Organic Headshots is opening its doors to consider a candidate for an Intern/Assistant. Here are the details!

Currently there is an opening for an intern/photo assistant to support the studio on a flexible schedule for a few hours a week. Like any photo studio, the majority of the daily work done is administrative, sales, and marketing. The candidate must have a strong willingness to learn and high interest in sales and marketing of photo services to help grow the business further. Marketing and administrative work in the office is unpaid, but assisting work on photo shoots is paid at $12-$16 an hour, depending on experience.
