How to Apply

If you've made it this far, you should know that a real person is reviewing this. I am expecting to bombarded with applications but truthfully we are looking for the right fit for this job, not a seat warmer. The right fit means a person who's really aligned with with us.

Put some effort into the application and the right person will be awarded with an amazing opportunity.

Please send us your resume along with a short introduction telling us about yourself.

**Selected applicants will be given a test client to demonstrate how they would handle an event from end to end.

We're looking for personality as much as experience — so don't be afraid to let yours come through.

Thanks in advance to all those that apply

Application question(s):

• 1. A client emails at 4pm on a Friday: "We're doing a 300-person holiday party on December 12th, budget is around $8,000, we want something fun and interactive but nothing cheesy." Write the reply you'd send.
• 2. Walk me through how you'd keep track of 15 active inquiries, 6 confirmed bookings, and 3 events happening the same week. What's your actual system?
• 3. You're on-site. The performer is 40 minutes late, guests are already seated, and the client is standing in front of you visibly stressed. What do you do, in order?
• 4. A client comes to you with a $2,000 budget for something that realistically costs $10,000. How do you handle that conversation?
• Tell us about the 3 coolest events you've been a part of.

Give us the event background.
