Employers usually seek applicants with a "good eye," imagination, and creativity, as well as a good technical understanding of photography. Entry-level positions in photojournalism or in industrial or scientific photography generally require a college degree in photography or in a field related to the industry in which the photographer seeks employment. Freelance and portrait photographers need technical proficiency, gained through a degree program, vocational training, or extensive photography experience.

Methods of recruitment
National press: This is newspapers and graphics and photography magazines. This is similar to the internet but it requires you to brows through lots of jobs offers where as on the internet you can just type it to Google and you done.
Internet: The most important Internet job search tip is to not become distracted. Keep a written log of the number of Internet jobs applied for each day. Aim to apply for three to five potential works at home jobs daily. Follow up on all email requests for interviews as soon as possible.
Internet jobs can be done seasonally, part time, or full time to make money online. Set up a functional home office to help keep distractions down while applying for jobs and working at home. Do not be embarrassed to take smaller side jobs that help maintain the necessary income level, while interviewing for more desirable positions. Use these tips to help find Internet jobs.
Personal contacts
If you have contacts in the industry you want to work in then you can consider yourself-lucky. All you have to do is give your friend a CV and let them take it to their boss. This is the easiest way to get a job because it doesn't require you calling people and they sending them your CV and waiting for months to get a reply from them which may never come.
Training on the Job
That depends on what job you doing. If its photography then you obviously need to know how to use the cameras the studio or the company you work for uses, if its for film then its similar but you need to know what video recording equipment they use as well us be familiar with the scripts and things connected with film making and lastly in graphics you need to have a knowledge of what software you meant to use and how you meant to use it as well as the computer and equipment required to create different designs. It all depends on the job you have and these can change at least once a year because the technology is moving forward which means that the company you work for has to keep up.
