Just curious, anyone on here use Really Right Stuff photography products? They are moving their manufacturing to just a few miles from me and I am looking at applying for a job they have that perfectly fits my skills.

You posted on Sunday, it is now Wednesday. Have you made an appointment for an interview yet? If not, you will regret it. Jobs with great companies do not last long.

You say you have the skills, but not which ones. Basically, if you can do the job, are able to answer "dumb" questions cheerfully, and to answer smart questions professionally, you ought to fit in. While I have never met anyone from RRS in person, the ones I have spoken with on the phone fit the above description. It is entirely possible that you need to "fit in" with this group, sort of like an extended family.

Even though the business has grown, extended its marketing base, and moved to a new location, I suspect the basic company ethic will continue to be the norm.

I own RRS products, and right from the first things I ordered [a clamp and plate], the quality was obvious from the moment I opened the package and held the items in my hands. Everything I have purchased produces the same feeling. And when the price seems a little stiff, I remember how good it is, and that it is all made 100% in the USA. Worth the wait while saving up for the next purchase!

Don't think I could express my feelings any better. Best of luck on your job search.
