Photo Booth Operator - Holiday Season

THIS IS A WEEKEND PART-TIME POSITION HIRING FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON. PLEASE APPLY ONLY IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN OCCASIONAL GIG 2-3 TIMES PER MONTH.

Flash PhotoBooth, a family-owned booth company, is looking to hire an entertaining individual to operate a photo booth at events. We need a reliable, trustworthy person with a great personality who can independently operate a photo booth. No technical experience needed, training will be provided. This is not a freelance photography position, as all equipment (besides transportation) is provided. No prior photography experience is needed (but an eye for photography / professional experience is a bonus). We are currently hiring for the holiday season as events are picking up, but continued employment past the holiday season may be possible for the right candidate if work is available. We are hiring immediately, and a preference for candidates who can start ASAP will apply.

Applicants MUST have a valid driver's license and your OWN reliable vehicle to transport the booth. This vehicle will most likely be a van or SUV, but certain models of hatchbacks, sedans, and station wagons may work. Knowing the rough dimensions of your vehicle’s cargo space will be needed to apply. Additionally, proof of insurance, a valid driver’s license, and a clean driving record is required.

Schedule:

Photo Booths are rented mostly for weddings, private parties and corporate events. Therefore, most of our events are on Friday, Saturday and Sundays. Applicants must be available at least 2-3 Saturdays per month, and be ready to work events on Friday and Sunday as needed. This is an ON-CALL POSITION - hours and schedule change every week. You are welcome to take on more events if available / needed. Events tend to be in the evening with the occasional afternoon event. Events can run late into the evening as well as have lengthy commutes. If you work mornings at another position, are a college student, or have too much free time on the weekends; this job may be the perfect fit to get some extra hours in! To make sure you have read these schedule requirements carefully, please add a sentence in your application email stating your favorite color in the paragraph about yourself.
