10/2/2016 0 Comments New Job!!So it has been awhile since I last posted, but I have some exciting news (well exciting for me).
On June 16th 2016, I emailed a lady called Nicole in regards to an Assistant Photography job that had been emailed around to the second and final year students. I wasn't sure how many people would have applied nor that I was get this job but I thought what the hell! It was the type of work I was looking to get myself into and it would give me the ability to learn more within the industry. Within a few hours of sending my application she got back to me with an interview dates. Two days later I had a the date set, Tuesday 28th June! The day of the interview I took my portfolio from the Final Year Graduation Show. I was horribly nervous but as soon as I stepped foot in the door and got talking to Nicole, all nerves went away and the interview was a breeze. Few minutes later it was over and I found myself with a task to do! I had been asked to take a photo of some Bubble Tea, I had no idea what this bubble tea was but surprisingly there are places which sell it, Lucky me! Around a week later I had taken the image and sent it to Nicole. Few days later I got an email back in regards to my image, as it was a good image it wasn't quite what they were wanting and asked me if it would be possible to retake it and send them a more fresh, summer image. I had also been asked if I would like to come into the office for a trail run alongside Nicole. Of course I jumped at the opportunity and said yes! While I was retaking the bubble tea image, Nicole and I started to arrange a trail day. As they were moving offices it was a little difficult to set a date that fit in nicely. However on Wednesday 10th August I had my trail day! It was how I was expecting, grab a camera take some images on a white background, upload to the websites required. Sure there is a lot of other bits inbetween that I have to remember but it was a good day! Before leaving Nicole and I had a talk about the day, how well she thought I did and asked... 'Would you like the job?'... I said yes of course! I wasn't due to start until September when they had finally moved into the new office and settled in. Which I was fine with as it gave me the summer to relax, get over the University stress I had been in the last few months with deadlines. On September 26th I finally started in my new job at The Gift Oasis in Huddersfield!
