I know I am weird, but since my first job at age 16 to now, I have had just one "interview" for a job.

My first job I was offered a job literately, as I sat in class at school. He asked if I wanted a job, and I said yes, he said come see me after school, and he handed me his business card.

At my second job, I walked in cold, no resume, just me. The business owner handed me a 4x5 color negative and pointed me to a small darkroom with an 100% manual color enlarger and he showed me where the paper safe was, he closed the door from the outside and waited. I stepped out a few minutes later and went to the back of the color processor, and loaded the print on. It came out very close to a good final color balance. He said see ya Monday morning.

At the subsequent jobs the owners approached me to hire me since they knew the other business were struggling due to the changes in photography industry from digital and the internet.

I had to do a lot of job interviews for potential employees over the years. It sucks to sit there and ask questions on their knowledge of photography, and try to get a feel if they will fit our needs. It was a good thing for us it was a small business, before all the political correct BS and new laws were put in place. When the business has just a handful of employees, they all have to be top people, and show up every day to do the job. I had to fire more than a few that just could not figure out an alarm clock or a clock at all, or they though taking a nap in the darkroom was OK. I miss all of that like a toothache.
