QUESTION 27 OF 28

How many sessions do you do per month?

"Working part-time has allowed me to average between 8-10 sessions a month. The sessions themselves vary in nature, but thus far the number has been consistent. I advertise my services through social media and clients reach out to me. Work has definitely been steady, and I'm working on advertisement plans to increase that number."

This question will provide you with a great opportunity to talk about how active you are in photography. The word sessions can be interpreted in multiple ways: either you taking pictures as a hobby or as a job. Ask the interviewer to clarify before answering. Ideally, your answer will indicate that you keep busy with photography. This will tell the interviewer how passionate you are about the craft and that you have plenty of experience to offer. If you do not have many sessions due to working another job, that's okay, just be sure to mention that.

"I don't have as many sessions as I prefer right now, just one or two. That's because my main job keeps me busy 5-6 days out of the week. If I had more time to shoot then I would, but my job makes advertising my services more difficult. That being said, when I was less busy, I worked almost every weekend. Clients reached out to me either by phone or my website."
