. I work about one show a week, so three to four shows a month, and each show runs anywhere from two to five days. I technically work part time, which is why I love it — it gives me so much flexibility., sometimes the client will ask me to wear a car-racing outfit or something that's a little more gimmicky.
I usually get an hour lunch. Some shows, like the ones that happen at hotels, feed us buffet-style lunches, which is always nice. But in convention centers, you're on your own, and I'm not going to lie, the food options aren't great. I also have a plant-based diet, which makes it even harder. Packing a lunch is always smart.
If you can pick information up fast and deliver it well, you'll be ahead of the game. Some clients couldn't care less if you know much about what they're offering, though. Sometimes it's as simple as greeting attendees, scanning badges, and passing out giveaways, which is mindless work. Personally, I like a challenge, so I enjoy the clients who want me to pick up some pointers and deliver them.
