5) Skill/competency being tested: Decision making (the ability to take responsibility)

It's Monday, and you're just finishing a photo session with a private client who lives about two hours away from the city. You return home tired and take the time to rest because you must be present at a photo session for a large commercial company, the next day at 9 am. You wake up in the morning, get ready to go out and start organizing your equipment bag. That's when you realize you can't find your camera. You search everywhere in the house, only to remember you forgot the camera at the client's house yesterday. You vividly remember putting the camera on the clients couch, right before he came to offer you a cup of tea and got you distracted. You don't have an extra camera to use, and you don't have time to drive to the clients house to pick up your camera. You must leave the house in the next half hour to be on time for the photo session. Please describe to us, what you would do in such a situation?

2) Skill/competency being tested: Technical ability to use Lightroom photo-editing software

We usually shoot in a studio that has been prepared in advance for the session, but occasionally you will have to shoot in the client's yard or at the beach. Despite the efforts to put the dog in the center of the frame, sometimes a bird flies and enters the frame, or there is a leaf that just flew in the wind and ruined an excellent photo. Can you explain how to remove an unwanted object from an image using Lightroom software?
