Photo Booth Technician

Job descriptionHello! My name is Alex and I'm the owner of Rock the Booth. I currently have 5 photo booth technicians and am looking to bring one more onto my team. As far as jobs go, this one can be pretty fun! You get to work at weddings, college events, company holiday parties, grad parties, etc. After I train you, you'll be working independently. You'll pick up the booth from the SW corner of 275 & 96 (it can fit into any car), drive to the event, and set up the booth. Then during the event, you'll be sitting at a table next to the booth where you'll have some free time to be on your laptop. The booth is automated so you're just there to answer any questions guests may have and to ensure everything is running smoothly. You basically get paid to go to parties and eat free food lol, it's great. Here's a detailed description of the job:PAY:$20/hour.Occasional tips (usually of $50-$100, I've been tipped $200 before).Free food (plates can be a $50-$100 value).Free time to be on your laptop (more on this below).HOURS:Make your own schedule - you can pick which events you want to work, no quota.You'll have an account on our booking/scheduling system where you can see future events and offer to work them.You'll also receive an automated email or text when a new event is booked.You can use this account to let us know when you're unavailable, unlimited time off.You'd usually end up working 0-1 events per week. There's normally enough demand to work 2-3 if you wanted more hours.We're busy in the summer and at the end of the year, slow Jan-Feb.Shifts are on average 7 hours long.Events are mainly on the weekend.JOB DUTIES:Training:Paid training at $10/hour.During training, you'll accompanying myself of another technician to an event or two.Training should only take two events, but you can be trained at more (or less) until you're comfortable.I created a detailed guide with pictures that explains how to set up the booth.Before the Event:After you're trained, you'll be working solo.You'll see all the event details in your account such as the timeline, address, floor plan, which booths to take, which add-ons to take, etc.The booths are stored in an indoor, climate controlled storage unit called Compass Storage in Novi, conveniently located just SW of I-275 & I-96.Load the booth into your car, drive to the event, find your spot, and set up the booth.Set up is easy, only takes about 30mins once you get the hang of it (not counting the time it takes to find your spot and bring in the equipment, but that usually takes less than 15 mins). I give you 1.5 hours so you have plenty of time in case there's traffic, trouble finding your spot, or any technical issues.Again there are instructions you can refer to if needed, but after setting up a few times you won't need them.I can talk you through anything over the phone, I recommend bringing headphones for hands-free calls.During the Event:Once it's set up, the booth is 100% self run.Guests just touch start, the booth takes a few pictures, then guests enter their email/number if they want digital copies, and then they select how many copies they want printed.The only thing you might have to do is change the ink and paper in the printer. You'd only have to do this once every few events. It says how many prints are left, and the booth can automatically text you when the ink/paper is out.Most guests jump right into using the booth, others just need a smile and a hand gesture to know it's okay to use, and some people like to know a little more about how it works first.You're mainly just there to answer any questions people have and to make sure everything is running smoothly.There will be a table next to the booth for you to sit at with your laptop. You can monitor the photos from your laptop and can reprint photo strips if needed.Please don't be on your phone during the event, but feel free to use your laptop to check social media, play games, read, study, work your other remote job, etc.There is a lot of downtime in the beginning when guests are getting settled. It usually doesn't get busy until after dinner (for weddings).After the Event:You can drop the booth back off at our storage unit the night of, or the next day if you'd like.You will be paid the following Monday over Zelle, which is instant.This job is a great resume booster since you'll gain experience working independently, working with technology, and working with people. Plus you can put me down as a reference!JOB REQUIREMENTS:Entry-level position (I'll teach you everything you need to know)Reliable vehicle (the booth can fit in any sized car)Weekend availabilityEvening availabilityPersonableProfessionalIndependentNice to have:LaptopVehicle that can fit a 44 inch x 41 inch x 12 inch box lol.
