STAFF DAYS

Staff are generally required for the full day.  We are looking for the following positions.

  • Customer Service – Customer Service Representatives will be stationed in the Mount Franklin Lobby (main hall). Customer Service is responsible for giving out wristbands, handing out VIP and Weekend bags, ensuring attendees have the right badges, and dealing with vendors needs. Customer Service Representatives must be quick thinkers and have a smile on their face all day. If you are good under pressure, this job is for you.
  • Guest Liaison – Guest Liaisons are assigned to a featured guest.  Guest Liaisons are responsible for collecting and accounting for autograph/miscellaneous funds earned by the featured guest at their booth.  Guest Liaisons are the buffer between the fan and the guest.  If the guest needs to leave the booth for a panel, bathroom break, or to eat you will stay at the booth to ensure the merchandise is not stolen.

Staff will be paid on Sunday after event close.  All items donated by guests for the staff will be given out at that time. If you cannot make it don’t worry just let us know. We are local and you can ensure you get your pay on a later date.

STAFF DRESS CODE

Staff are all required to adhere to the following dress code:

  1. You may dress casually, but you must wear your Anime El Paso Staff badge and vest at all times during your shift. No ripped jeans, short shorts, short skirts, offensive t-shirts, or revealing articles of clothing may be worn.
