1 | Events #COVID19 Talent Help List | |||||||||||||
2 | To share this list: https://bit.ly/2xtOfMU | |||||||||||||
3 | To the events and hospitality community: These are unprecedented times we currently find ourselves in. As members of the Event and hospitality, we owe it to each other to help support the workforce that makes what we do possible each and every day. As members of the industry, we all know that employment can be tenuous at the best of times. We started this database to help those employees who are in between jobs, got let go, or their company recently went under. These are things that happen in any normal period in time in the events community, but the recent crisis around COVID19 has made employment opportunities essentially non-existant. If you're looking to bring someone on in a contract capacity during this crisis, please source from this list of the people who need our help the most. If you're unable to bring someone onto your team right now, then let's all make an effort to reach out to these people once the crisis is over. If someone has gone through this crisis without having a steady paycheque, we owe it to them to view their candidacy first whenever we make it to the other side of this crisis. Thank you for your continued support and for everything you all do to make the events industry the best in the world. | |||||||||||||
4 | To candidates: If you're currently out of work and are looking for any sort of employment within the events industry (part-time, contract, full-time), please put your information below. NOTE: All professionals welcome, not just planners or typical "events workers." | |||||||||||||
5 | Questions? Don't hesitate to reach out to us at aaron@fifthelementgroup.com or ronan@fifthelementgroup.com. As this is an honest attempt to help, please be patient with responses or glitches. | |||||||||||||
