what should i include as a job on the common application?

Applying to College
1

<p>I've held two "jobs" in my high school career. The first I began in April, when I started my own photography business. I run it through a website and devote a substantial amount of time running the website and working for clients. My second job I only landed this month, and it is as a photography assistant at a professional studio. I will only have held it for a few months before my applications are reviewed.</p>

<p>I feel like both of these show that I have special talent, but will a admissions committee (like that of Stanford) see it the same way? Or are they just looking to see that I have devoted a substantial amount of time to work?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>List them both; include your web address in your application. You may also wish to submit a photographic portfolio even if you are not an arts major; refer to the college's website for submission suggestions. Admissions committees are looking for people who are not spuds and will contribute to the college community. Your activities tell me that you are creative, energetic and (hopefully) talented in the arts as well! If you can convey this in your application, I think you should do well.</p>
