• Personality - Extremely Outgoing & Energetic (your personality is the client's first impression of us!)

• A Details Freak - Taking care of the little details first makes putting on a big show easy!

• No Fear - Be confident and motivated to call on and/or meet/work/deal with facility owners, company owners, media, and of course the Godfather of GRSSC.

Also, we need someone who can take direction well. We know exactly what we want and how we want it done and we always want to work on how we can do things better. Some may call it constructive criticism, but we call it perfectionificaiton. (yeah, not really a word)
