Additional Details: All shifts come with free lunch! We have food vouchers for $16 and drink/dessert vouchers for $8, good with any of our participating food vendors! We'll have neck fans for everyone along with waters. We have a few chairs but it's encouraged to bring your own if you want to sit for your lunch break! Additional perks include this months gob mart sticker and first dibs on stuff at the trading tent (no trade required) especially for those working the trading tent!
Reminder! This is a gig- type position! You're allowed to take more then one shift but please don't overwhelm yourself! Participating in one market doesn't guarantee a position at another market, but we do look forward to building a strong, repeat team to rely on as our monthly markets continue! Our volunteers are non-paid community volunteers who care about Gob Mart and are willing to help it be fun and functional! Our team captains or shift leads are repeat staff members who are paid and will be pulled from the volunteer pool. To be considered for a staff position, you must have completed at least one Goblin Market volunteer shift of the same position!
Anyone caught harming the Goblin Market name by being hateful, behaving inappropriately, or intentionally giving false information to guests and vendors will be dismissed, not paid, and asked not to return. But on the other hand, if anyone gives you a hard time while loading them in or yells and argues with you at the trading tent- you can call me over and they will be publicly humiliated and asked to leave! I got your backs gobs <3
Now, onto the info about you!
