OK you guys, I am getting nervous..,
I have, what to me is a BIG interview on Tuesday. It is for Jr Photographer at a place whose work is lovely. They are wedding photographers but employ a more photo journalistic style, I love what I have seen on their site.
So I have told them no tales, no embellishments :) and they still called me in to see them!! I have put together a portfolio to bring, it is what they wanted after seeing stuff online and thats it...
Thanks guys..
I am fairly confident that my previous career has taught me an impeccable work ethic and the ability to be creative under stress all while remaining composed.
I am just so excited, I am trying to do the old career change, and it has been trying to say the least. I feel at an advantage because my previous gig paid so low, most photo gigs are higher paying even at the bottom of the ladder...So I have no pretense about being low man on the totem pole...
Thanks to everyone here who has been so awesome and helpful and generous with their talents!
Be sure to point out the extra, intangible something you bring to the equation: as a former pastry chef, you have the ability to rescue wedding cakes in distress :-)

Aww Thanks guys!!
well the interview went well I think....It sounds perfect for me, you do a couple of weddings as an assistant..then you become Jr photographer. They use a Jr and a Sr for most weddings. SO the Sr dood is responsible for driving, set ups, all the shots of the BIG moments. But the junior position, which is the one I hope to land, is 100% creative. She told me as Jr. you go and shoot...they want to train you in their style and hope peeps stay on with them for many seasons...
So, they will be sending out offers in 3 weeks...I am looking desperately for temp work in the meantime and have all fingers crossed.
Thanks Cindi, I really admire what you do, I can only hope to get there myself one day!!
This, I hope, will work out...Let me tell ya being single and changing careers is tough!
good luck,
only advice i would give anyone is have confidence in your own ability to do the job you have applied for. If you have that then be yourself and you will go far.
