Imaginarium Book Festival is looking for two energetic people to support a special event at our festival this year, June 7-8, 2024. The event takes place at the University of the District of Columbia Student Center (right next to Van Ness train station). We are expecting almost 1000 vendors and readers this year and would love for you to join us!
During the special event, you will be connecting with attendees and creating custom non-alcoholic event drinks for them to enjoy. No bartending experience is required. The drinks are very easy to make and the recipes will be provided for you. We would, however, prefer if you had some event experience though everyone is welcome to apply. If you are overwhelmed by large crowds and noisy environments, this may not be the position for you.
This position requires a TWO-DAY COMMITMENT and you must be LOCAL TO WASHINGTON DC (within 30 miles). If you do not meet these requirements, we unfortunately cannot hire you for this position.
The shifts are as follows:
1pm ET – 7pm ET
8am ET – 1pm ET
*You must be able to work the FULL shift on both days*
Attire: All black is preferred; comfortable, closed-toe shoes. Aprons will be provided.
Transportation: You are responsible for your own transportation to and from the event. The venue is right next to Van Ness Train station (on the red line) and there is on-site parking for $20/day. There is also street parking available.
Responsibilities: Station set up and clean up on both days (everything will be provided for you). You will not be required to lift anything over 20 lbs, but you may be required to pull wheeled ice bins through the venue, which does have elevators.
Payment will be received the week AFTER the event via Venmo, Zelle or PayPal (CashApp is not available). You will be required to submit a W-9 before payment. Blank forms can be found on the IRS website.
A short interview is required for this position. The event manager will be reaching out if they are interested in scheduling an interview. For more information about the event, please visit www.imaginariumbookfestival.com.
