Photographers

All internships, regardless of what you do, are unpaid and remote. Interns are required to work for at least 6 months.

Sarah Rizkalla, the founder, offers mentorship advice, though I don't consider it a set program. She's always available to offer advice. I do believe the magazine has recently started online webinars which offer mentorship advice for a fee, but don't quote me on that. More info should be on the w...

You have to adhere to very strict and sometimes tight deadlines. While it's remote and you can set your own hours, you often work for more hours than described. Most communication is done through video calls or Slack messaging, and often times communication occurs over the weekends. Therefore, yo...

In interviewing for a position as a Multimedia Journalist, be prepared to answer how and where you find story ideas, what you approach is to different topics, how you problem solve in the field on stories, how often you've done liveshots, your approach to teamwork, and your background or experien...

My advice on how to get a journalism internship is to be well-versed with how news outlets operate, the different types of news available to the consumer (i.e. print vs. digital), the social media platforms news runs on, as well as knowing how to write material through a journalistic lens (i.e. h...

The interview was very casual. I was contacted by an assistant director to schedule a phone interview with Trent, the head director of the camp.For my position, I was asked mostly about my prior experiences in media and advertising. I had a portfolio (although young) of some promotional content I...

Each day I had a morning meeting with the director staff to plan which activities I would be filming at, why, and for which project. We often discussed new weekly pieces of content and updates on in-progress projects.When not filming, I was editing at my leisure in any of the many areas to relax ...

I honestly really enjoy my job working in the college of comm on campus. There are many different jobs, shooting events in different fields. There are many opportunities for networking because you are collaborating with different people, as well as opportunities to build your experience and portf...

When I had my interview for this position, it was over the phone and I was very nervous. I did not have any experience in Photography but I wanted to learn. Some of the interview questions were about my experience in Photography and there were also questions about me. Some of the questions really...

Any day at The Springs is so amazing! Being a Photographer for multiple age groups was so fun because you are not focused on just one program. Even though the days are busy with early mornings and late nights, it is so rewarding when you see how Christ is impacting lives and you're able to captur...

GAP is very structured and roles are clearly defined which makes it more comfortable to navigate. There are many people involved in the actual decision making process and approvals though. It's quite a valiant effort! You will have absolutely ownership of your own ability to perform the role und...

You have complete ownership over your events during the Olympics, as you are the only person that is working on that event when it is live. You then send along your highlight reel and log to an editor who may make some changes and add it to the website. Our bosses even emailed us that the Emmy Aw...

I believe my pay was $10/hr. It doesn't seem like a ton, but since I worked during the Olympics most people were working about 60 hours/week, and you did receive time and a half for overtime.

Photopass is VERY important to the Disney mission. You are permanently capturing "magic moments" that can help a family remember their time at Disney. They may remember the rides and the other parts of Disney, but memories fade after a while. With Photopass, we are making sure they remember their...

You don't get any credit for the photos you take at Disney. They all belong to the company and I'm pretty sure you could get in massive amounts of trouble for using them. You might be able to get permission, but that is highly unlikely. It is definitely good to still talk about your work at Disne...

Well, I was hoping to have accomplished a lot more than I was allowed to do. The video part of the job was a let down, since I don't think any of the video work I produced was ever broadcast, since the administration could never figure out what they wanted to do with it, or was too concerned with...

I'd have to say that the candidate has to ask the questions that are most important to them. The ones I see as important to me are/were: - What is the scope of the position? - As far as video is concerned, who is the audience? - How much of the overall job is concerned with actual journalism (t...
