What’s that? You just heard about this great new series to watch…here’s why you should give up your time instead…
1.ENHANCE YOUR CV
Your employment prospects will immediately improve, FACT.
Who do you think is getting an interview for that job? Elmo with a one page CV, no experience but ‘likes socialising’ or Anita with volunteering experience at three high profile events including the UK’s LARGEST Pasta Party?
“Oh hello Anita, what’s that? Strong with two sugars…no problem” *Anita settling into her new job.
2. LEARN NEW SKILLS
You will learn new skills working on events. If you like filing that’s fine, but you could be honing your customer service skills on registration, greeting international speakers with a winning smile, making a dent in your 10,000 steps doing stage management, access to restricted events, learning how backstage events operate or gaining knowledge from inspirational industry speakers…for free.
3. BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE
Trying something new by taking on an event volunteer role will expand your horizons, give you a sense of pride and identity, and leave you beaming, glowing or perhaps perspiring after a shift with a great event team.
4. YOU’LL MEET PEOPLE AND MAKE FRIENDS
We hire friendly. We are a friendly bunch and so are the rest of our recruits it’s a prerequisite. You’ll meet likeminded people and bond over shared experiences. Unless your middle name is ‘Lazy’, we know you’ll fit in.
5. IT’S FUN
We event hard and party (eat left over conference buffet) harder.
6. IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH
No, seriously! Research has found that volunteering can boost your immune system and help you sleep better (not just from exhaustion)!
It can be hard to know where to begin if you’ve never volunteered for an event.
Fortunately, we can steer you in the right direction. We offer opportunities to work on a wide range of events from glittering VIP dinners, conferences, exhibitions, festivals (film to wildlife!) and everything in between. We’ll be able to match you with an event that suits your availability and interest area. Volunteering doesn’t have to be a full-time commitment; the odd shift when you are available really makes a difference.
