Hattie & Flora Ltd - Creative Events Assistant

I found this job opportunity on ‘Arts Jobs’ - it is unpaid work, but would be a good addition to my portfolio. The work itself involves activities which I would enjoy and thrive in and the bullet points that ‘Hattie & Flora Ltd’ have included match my skill set and interests really well.

They state that expenses shall be paid for and that I would received a reference after the job has been completed - both factors which are important as I would have to commute to the site and getting a report about myself will be good when applying for other, hopefully paid jobs, in the future.

Nightclub Photography

Even though this job is not the most ideal for me and is paid on a commission base wage, it is very close to home - in fact, it couldn’t closer. The photography itself takes place in town where I personally go out myself on nights out. The job consists of only two night shifts for five hours a week. I could fit this into my timetable as a I would not have to travel far afield to get into Hanley.

Hopefully my experience in the city would allow me to generate a good amount of commission, this way the work is worth my while, plus I am getting hands on with a camera which is what I enjoy.

Endz 2 Endz - Photographer

Despite how this job is unpaid, it would be very valuable as part of my portfolio. The photography work is based in London, which is not the most ideal location, but not impossible to deal with. The most important factor is the fact that this work is fully photography based and the work could possibly feature in an online magazine. As the site is viewable by anyone at anytime, this may provide opportunities for me in the future if someone were to see my photos on the Endz 2 Endz webpage.

Child Photography

What drew me to this opportunity was the location - it is in Manchester which is where I want to be! The job duties revolve around photographing children, this is not a problem for me as I enjoy working with children and can communicate well with them - they could make the job more pleasing if anything.
