I recommend Shawn McCauley as a candidate for employment. Shawn was employed by Jostens PIX as a School Photographer from August 2022 to December 2022.

Shawn’s responsibilities as a School Photographer included preparing for school picture day events by managing his schedule, organizing and transporting all necessary photography equipment as well as ensuring the equipment was maintained and in good working order prior to an event. During a school picture day event, he was responsible for setting up and testing the equipment to ensure quality pictures. He also helped with organizing the check-in desk area and worked with school coordinators to ensure both students and staff members had their pictures captured.

Shawn has excellent communication skills. In addition, he is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate.
