NordicFuzzCon is hiring!
9 years ago
Conventions don't run themselves: they rely on the dedication and hard work from people such as yourself. Do you think you have what it takes to join the NordicFuzzCon team? Do you want to help make NordicFuzzCon 2017 the best convention yet? See our list of available 'jobs' below.
Media & PR and Conbook
Both the Media & PR and the Conbook departments are looking for the following:
Writers. People who are able to write English without making embarrassing misspellings; who are able to be funny but informative; who are able to be economical with their words, i.e. keeping it short and to the point; who doesn’t mind doing a bit of information gathering when the information needed for a text is lacking, asking around in the various departments for clarification; who are on the right side of the ongoing Oxford comma wars; who can never get enough semicolon action; and who are available on short notice to do text work (which includes editing, proof reading, and writing new texts from scratch).
Designers. They should be familiar with InDesign and Photoshop or equivalent, be able to multitask and switch between different projects, and have a good grasp of basic design combined with a desire to learn and grow.
If you are interested in volunteering for either, then you can send an e-mail to media[at]nordicfuzzcon.org or conbook[at]nordicfuzzcon.org .
Dealers' Den
We are looking for someone that would be interested in working in the Dealers’ Den team to help plan the den before, and work in the den during the convention. You will have ample opportunity to meet, talk and interact with the dealers that are attending the convention. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to dealersden[at]nordicfuzzcon.org .
Art Show
The Art Show is one of the highlights of any furry convention, and while it may look like it pretty much runs itself, it actually requires a lot of work - especially when opening and closing. So more helpful paws are definitely needed!
If you join the team, here's what you'll be helping with:
- Double checking and sorting submitted art, making sure it meets the requirements. It is always better with a 2nd pair of eyes to pick up anything others might have missed.
- Help the artists to arrange and distribute their artwork in a professional and pleasing way.
- Making sure attending guests don't take pictures or attempt to steal or touch the displayed items.
- At the closing of the Art Show we need to sort, rearrange and handle payments. This will require quite a few paws as it needs to be handled smoothly and with a certain amount of speed. Previous knowledge of monetary handling is a bonus. Plus, of course, being able to stay professional and friendly while doing so.
Would you like to trot along with us at the Art Show? Then please e-mail us at artshow[at]nordicfuzzcon.org .
Medic
More medics can never be wrong! They are needed during the convention to make sure that everyone is having a good time even if someone gets hit in the stomach with a plushie. To volunteer your services, please send an e-mail to medic[at]nordicfuzzcon.org .
Security
The NordicFuzzCon security team is responsible for convention security. That means to manage queues, making sure people have a good time, and resolving incidents during the convention, like “my plushie ran off” and “I need a hug from someone”. If you would like to join, then please send an e-mail to security[at]nordicfuzzcon.org .
Logistics & Construction
The Logistics & Construction department is currently looking for more victims... err, we mean, more volunteers! You'll be working with a small team of like-minded furs, and it's an excellent opportunity to get to know both the convention and some new, friendly people.
The work includes setting up, tearing down, lifting and carrying, as well as some occasional on-the-spot planning. The work is fun, physical, practical, social, solution-oriented, and occasionally a bit tiring. But it's mostly fun!
You must be able to arrive at the convention one or two days prior to the official convention start, and leave no sooner than the late departure day.
Having a driver's license is a bonus, but not a must.
To volunteer, send an e-mail to logistics[at]nordicfuzzcon.org and tell us why you would like to join.
