Requirements

Availability: You must be available to work the following dates and times: July 6th - 9th, 12:00 PM - 11:00 PM

Location: You must be located in the Greater Montreal Area and be able to get to and from 120 Avenue Duluth E.

Experience: Previous experience in trade shows and exceptional lead generation or direct sales experience is a must. 

Skills: You have excellent conversational skills, are open-minded, and thrive in fast-paced, high-energy environments 

Benefits

Pay: $25.00 per hour

Bonus: The possibility of performance-based bonuses for exceeding lead generational goals. 

Do you have a knack for connecting with people and a passion for artistic concepts? If so, we want to hear from you.
