Work experience opportunity
Are you interested in gaining some event planning experience?
Want some insight into event coordination?
‘Christmas in the Square’ coordinators are looking for some extraordinary Crown students to help them with this annual event in December.
Located in Aotea Square you will assist the Market coordinator, liaise with and help market stall holders. Your problem solving skills will get a work out and so will your communication skills! Hospitality and Event planning require you to be physically fit, hard working and demonstrate a ‘can do’ attitude.
You will be required to work long days from 12th-24th December, but in return you will get to network and form relationships within the industry.
If you are interested, email Natalie your questions and a cover letter as to why you are interested in the work experience to careers@crown.ac.nz by 23rd November 2011.
