looking for a fun, creative part-time job?

by heathermorrow· August 31, 2012· in News· 0 comments tags: kansas city administrative job, kansas city internship, photography internship
WE’RE HIRING! I am currently looking to fill two positions – a part-time administrative assistant and an internship. Both positions provide a fun, creative work environment with excellent perks! The details of each position are listed below. ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT This position will have very little to do with the actual photography portion of my business and I would prefer not to hire a photographer or aspiring photographer. This position requires an organized, detail-oriented, outgoing, tech-savvy individual to handle scheduling, client communication, some blogging and social media, order receiving/packaging and other miscellaneous administrative duties. The administrative assistant will be needed in the studio one day a week (with flexible hours) and must also be available for a few additional hours throughout the week for work that can be done remotely. I anticipate this position requiring 8-12 hours per week with no weekends or holidays and I would prefer to trade services. INTERNSHIP This unpaid position is an excellent opportunity to gain hands on photography experience, Photoshop training and more. Interns have flexible hours, assisting at both portrait and editorial photo shoots and periodically working in the studio. The ideal candidate is a high school or college student with an interest in photography, […]
