Application Question(s):

What is your availability for work each week? Our corporate office is typically open Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm. However, this role requires flexibility, including some evenings and weekends for events and travel.
Our corporate office is in Dallas, TX (75238) and also requires commuting to events throughout the DFW area. Do you have a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and the ability to commute to both the office and events?
What about this role and our company made you interested in applying?
What is your dream job, and how do you see this role helping you grow toward it?
This position requires someone who is resourceful and able to think on their feet, especially when working alone. Scenario: You need to print a sign for the upcoming event, but the printer jams. You are in the office alone and no one else is there to help. What do you do?
At events, unexpected things happen. We want to see how you would handle a situation like this. Scenario: You’re setting up a candy display and the table covering has a small stain on it. What do you do?
While we understand this is an entry-level position, it is also a role built around learning and growing. What is your LinkedIn profile link? If you don’t have one yet, that’s completely fine. LinkedIn is a great tool to showcase your journey, connect with professionals, and build your career over time.
If I asked your past manager what they could count on you for every single day, what would they say? Give 3 specific things.
Scenario: Your leader has back-to-back meetings, is traveling, and you discover a schedule conflict that will upset an important client. Walk me through exactly what you do, step by step.
