Side hustle at your next event? Here's how!
If you're like most people, the idea of finding a job can be a bit daunting. Even more so if you're looking for work at an event. After all, with so many people in one place, the competition for jobs can be stiff. But don't despair! With a little ingenuity and effort, you can land yourself a gig at your next big event. Here's how...
1. Check Craigslist or other online job boards in the days leading up to the event.
Many businesses will post help-wanted ads for everything from security to serving staff in the days leading up to an event. So if you're flexible on what type of work you're willing to do, checking these sites regularly can pay off.
2. Ask around.
Chances are, someone you know is already working at the event you're interested in and may be able to put in a good word for you. It never hurts to ask!
3. Talk to the event organizers directly.
Whether it's a concert, trade show, or festival, most events have some sort of website or social media presence that you can use to get in touch with the organizers. Reach out and let them know that you're interested in working at their event. They may have leads on jobs that haven't been posted publicly yet.
4. Sign up with a staffing agency that specializes in events.
These agencies typically have long-standing relationships with businesses and organizations that hold events, so they often have inside information on upcoming job openings. Plus, they'll do all the legwork for you! All you have to do is show up and start working.
5. Be prepared to work hard.
Let's face it: most jobs at big events are going to be physical in nature and require long hours on your feet. So if you're not willing to put in the hard work, chances are you won't make it through an event unscathed—or employed.
Working at an event can be a great way to earn some extra cash while getting to experience all the fun and excitement firsthand. Just remember to start your job search early, be flexible, and be prepared to put in some hard work—and you'll be sure to find success!
