Write a paragraph about the interview. Include difficult questions asked, what you learned from the experience..
I called Kate Turning’s office and had my interview with Steve Jacobi on Friday, April 8 2011. He started off wanting to know why I was interested with interning with Kate. I mentioned to him that I like how original she is. Her work is very unique and fun especially compared to the typical family portrait studio photographs. He then followed with that asking what it is that I like to photograph. I mentioned to him that my strength was probably in photojournalism but I wanted to expand my strength, which is why I chose Kate instead of interning for photojournalism. He then wanted to know more about school. Asking me about photoshop, whether I knew it or not, asked about what we have learned and used in school, how demanding school is. Followed by what jobs I have had, trying to figure out if I deal well with others. I told him that I completed the classes to have my certificate in photoshop. I knew about masks and layering. I told him it was about 4 classes. He seemed pleased with that. I then mentioned how we first started with film cameras so we could really learn how a camera worked, the more technical side of photography. And how we are still using 4x5 for some assignments. We have learned anything from portraiture to right now architecture. We then moved onto work. I told him I used to work at a photography studio and did a lot of computer work. That was where I first learned to retouch images. I was behind the desk a lot not really interacting a lot with people. I went on to my current job, I told him it was a resale retail store that is always busy and constantly flowing with people. He wanted to know if I did well with that and I told him yes, however I only work one day a week because of school. He mentioned that school must be really demanding then. Uhhh yeah! (I did not say it like that though Mrs. Harkins no worries haha). He seemed happy with the interview and went on to tell me when he wanted me to start the following week. He was flexible because he knew it was a short amount of time to find tickets.
