At this small, but fast-paced, store, I was in charge of the Photo Department. It was essential that I accurately organize and manage customer projects and files. My daily duties involved digitizing photos and album pages using Kodak, Epson, and Konica scanners; scanning slides and negatives; and editing and restoring photos with Photoshop. When my coworkers in other departments needed help, I converted videos to DVDs in the Video Department and printed photos, posters, etc. in the Printing Department. I was also expected to help customers whenever they entered the store, by answering their questions, assembling their projects, working with them on the kiosks, and ringing up their orders.
