Staff Departments
Important! Many departments are more selective than others, and if you pick entirely selective departments, you may not get any of your choices. Also, in some cases departments may be fuller than others, so we may assign you to a department that has a greater need than any of those you requested.
ConSweet & Hospitality
Help serve instant ramen, soda, and rice! Keeping people fed with rice and soda and ramen is the most appreciated job of the convention, as attendees will love you. The ConSweet cooks rice, prepares hot water for ramen, and keeps the ConSweet as clean as possible, while providing excellent and friendly customer service.
Registration & Badge Pickup
Help people check into the convention! Registration is given the responsibility of ensuring that attendees are quickly ushered through the registration lines to get into the convention. Registration finds pre-registered people in our database, and then gives them their convention badge, or accepts and enters the information from at-con registrations. People in registration should be friendly, outgoing, and provide excellent customer service even in stressful situations.
Safety & Operations
Help keep people safe at the con! The safety department is charged with keeping everything safe through things like line management, checking badges, checking IDs, and being the eyes-and-ears on the ground of the convention. If you see someone doing something dangerous, you help us tell them to stop. You might respond to reports of harassment and help ALL attendees feel safe. Bear in mind, we have seen safety staff act mean towards attendees at other conventions - we don't want our safety staff to go around screaming at people on a power trip, people respond better to calm talking than being screamed at.
Guests
People with experience handling celebrities can help keep our guests happy at the convention, however we do not accept most applications for this position. If all you want to do is goof off with the celebrities, don't apply. The guest department is charged with keeping guests happy at the con. You are needed to show them around the convention and help them find their panel sessions, bring them water, etc. If you can drive we also have spots for people to pick our guests up at the airport on-time, take them to restaurants, and ensure that they have water and markers during autograph sessions. This fast-paced, high-stress environment requires good people skills from people who will not distract our guests from their responsibilities.
Tech
Help setup convention equipment! The tech department is highly critical on Thursday for setting up convention stuff, and throughout the weekend for setting up projectors, screens, and other equipment during the con, and helping make sure things work during big events like the Cosplay Contest or Rave Dances.
Dealers & Artists
On Thursday you help vendors find their spaces and make sure that the hotel has appropriately placed them all. You'll answer questions, check-in vendors, and make sure vendors aren't using more space than they paid for. You may *not* help vendors load in their equipment, as they are required to have their own staff for that. During the convention, you should check-in with each vendor every two hours, and sometimes bring them water or drinks from the ConSweet if that's allowed.
