[11/1/2007] Crestock is pleased to be offering experienced contributors the opportunity to become involved as photo inspectors.
Written by: Joshua Hodge
UPDATE: We're still looking for new inspectors to help manage Crestock's rapidly growing collection. If you wish to apply, please remember to mention specifically about your experience and knowledge within the microstock industry in your application, this is what we're most interested in.
Nobody knows what it takes to make good stock better than the contributing artists at Crestock. Thats why we would like to offer a job that can provide you with the possibility to improve your photographic and graphic know-how, and earn a very decent wage at the same time..
We're offering one (or possibly more) positions as a photo inspector for any candidate who can best fulfill the following:
- A solid Crestock portfolio that demonstrates your know-how (if you just haven't got around to uploading as much of your collection to Crestock as you'd like, let us know and we can fast track things for you there).
- A passion for pictures, a keen eye for composition and a great understanding of what make a good stock image.
- Good communication skills (good English is important). We want our inspectors to be able to communicate with the photographers their reason for rejections, and also be able to provide quick customized tips.
- You need to be patient and thorough, you're going to inspect anywhere from hundreds to a couple of thousand images per session. Your inspections are very carefully monitored to insure photographers don't suffer from any unprofessionalism.
- A fast broadband connection. The inspection system is web-based and doesn't require any extra equipment other than a fairly fast computer and a well-calibrated monitor.
- A few hours of work each day, at least 3 days a week. Afternoon hours (GMT) are an advantage.
This job would best suit someone who is either already a full-time stock photographer, or looking to go in that direction. The pay is per picture, but is very reasonable, over double the rate other agencies pay. As well as a bit of extra economy, this job provides you with great graphic skills for your own stock work.
Write us an email about yourself, also telling us why you'd like to have this job.
We look forward to hearing from you.
