About the role
This is a great event! Local celebrities become Teppan chefs at Mr. An's restaurant. We sell out to corporate sponsors, community leaders, and individual supporters, and they enjoy and evening of food, spirits, fun and bidding on auction items. This is a fast paced, loud, chaotic event in nature, and alcohol is involved. We need people ready to get in to the crowd and help us with all the auction stuff. We need volunteers who can be present and careful with all the fragile items while also being quick and organized. There are a few steps in the restaurant, so we need everyone to be careful. There will be some down time when there is nothing for you to do but sit for a moment and relax as the guests eat their dinner. Then the crazy begins. This is our annual semi-formal auction event, so we ask that volunteers please wear tennis shoes or something comfortable for fast moving. Please wear long pants, khakis or something comfortable, but no denim, and an appropriate top.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
