Are you a people person? Do you love working with children? Would you enjoy doing non-pressure sales? Lil' Angels Photography in San Jose is hiring Photographer's Assistants/Sales Reps. These are fun, fast paced, high-energy, part time positions. Lil' Angels Photography is a mobile photography studio taking fashion portraits of children ages 6 weeks through 5 years old in preschools and daycares.

A Photography Assistant helps the photographer with every aspect of a photo shoot including setup/teardown, posing, and creating great expressions. The assistant works with the children to make sure their hands and faces are clean (including cleaning noses!). You will then return to the preschools to sell the portrait packages to parents after the photography is developed. Being a Sales Assistant requires that you are quick with numbers and are comfortable with the concept of upselling. You must be mature and have reliable transportation, as you will be required to travel throughout Santa Clara County.

Hours vary each week. Photo days are typically 7:30 a.m. -- 11:30a.m. Sales days are typically 3:00p.m. -- 6:00 p.m. and sometimes one-hour lunch sales. Hours will vary from 5 to 15 hrs. /week, and every week will be different. Yes, you may work in the morning and again in the afternoon, on occasion. We never work nights, weekends, or holidays!!!

Pay starts at $10.50/hour. Photography experience is not necessary - we need people who love to work with children and people who can envision selling finished portrait packages to parents.

If you are interested in this position, please send us your resume along with an email stating why you think this would be a good job fit for you.

You must be able to satisfactorily pass a background check.

This is a part-time, seasonal job. Hours in January and February are light, and then increase substantially in March, April, and May. The pace slackens during the summer and increases dramatically again beginning in September. The interview process for final candidates will include a {1/2} day "working interview."
