Why didnt i get position promoting a photography store?
Asked by Headswirl
I applied for casual "3 times a week position" which said "no experience required".Training provided. I have experience in sales, photography as i am published photographer, i have knowledge of advertising and yet i didnt get position in Pixi Photography Store all i had to do is talk to people and not take photos i didnt even get a job interview.I know the employers name and managers but couldn't get the job.Whats wrong with these employers? I was dressed in interview clothes.Has someone tell me why i wasnt hired or even called for interview when i worked in a photography store in past? I even approached the store 4 times a week and they still didnt hire me. It shows that there is no point in applying for jobs even if you had photography as a hobby and got hung in international photography exhibition. I could of done this job as it was very close to home like 30 minutes by bus.

Best Answer:
As someone who worked in photo retail for 13 years that is a good question. I don't think its you. The industry has changed so much and it changes so fast. It could also be you were over qualified for the job and nothing scares management more is someone with more experience than themselves. It too could also be the economy. I too am seeking employment and I can't get an interview with a tight resume and years of experience in my field.

This happens all of the time. The employer either hired from within or a relative needed a job....................
