π£ Looking for a James Dean Festival Assistant! π£
ποΈ Dates & Times:
Friday, September 25th from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Saturday, September 26th from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Sunday, September 27th β I don't need help unless I get booked.
I'm looking for someone whose primary responsibility will be sales and client management during the event. You'll be the face of Shannon Harris Photography + Design while I'm busy photographing clients. πΈ
Your duties will include:
β
Talking with festival attendees about photography sessions
β
Helping clients choose the right package
β
Scheduling appointments
β
Collecting payments
β
Checking clients in for their sessions
β
Confirming contracts have been signed
β
Verifying payments
β
Recording booking details, package selections, payment methods, and appointment times on my iPad
You will be fully trained well before the festival, so you won't be expected to figure things out on your own! π
π° Pay:
β’ $60 per day guaranteed
β’ PLUS $10 for every session you book in person during the festival
π Seniors are encouraged to apply! If you're a high school senior looking to make some extra cash, I'm also willing to discuss a complimentary senior photo session as part of your compensation.
Not a senior? Please apply anyway! I'm looking for the right personality more than anything else. If you're outgoing, reliable, enjoy talking with people, and aren't afraid to start conversations, I'd love to hear from you. This position could be a great fit for stay-at-home parents, retirees, college students, someone looking for extra income, or anyone who enjoys meeting new people and helping small businesses grow.
I'm looking for someone who is:
β Outgoing and comfortable approaching and talking with people
β Reliable and able to commit to the event dates
β Organized and detail-oriented
β Comfortable handling payments and scheduling
β Sales experience is a plus, but not required
I already have 5 sessions booked, and I expect MANY more to fill as we get closer to the festival. Last year I booked around 20 sessions while only working two days. π
This year I'll be photographing clients throughout the event, so I need someone dedicated to handling sales, scheduling, and client check-ins. I've learned I can't photograph people and sell sessions at the same time! π
If you're interested or know someone who would be a great fit, send me a message! When you apply, please tell me a little about yourself and any experience you have working with customers, sales, events, or the public. π©
