15 Signs You Work In the Event and Arena Industry

admin October 4, 2013 0

If you’ve ever endured long days that turn into nights, a never-ending calendar of events, quick turnarounds and spent months planning for a three hour show… we feel you. Welcome to the event and arena industry. Where the party doesn’t stop till six in the morning… but you still have to go to work the next day. We live and breathe live entertainment, work on holidays and weekends, rely heavily on coffee, but wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s the lifestyle that everybody thinks about having, but one that so few get to experience first hand. Sometimes it can be hard work, but we couldn’t think about ever having a different job. It wouldn’t even come as a surprise to learn that younger employees try to look for fake ids so they can get in on the fun too, because nobody wants to miss out on the party of the century. We like to let our hair down to you know, and if that involves making sure we work at the hottest parties, then we’re willing to do anything to achieve it. Whilst some people love this sort of hectic schedule, others do find that they dislike the non-stop nature of this job and quit soon after being hired. This isn’t uncommon in this industry, it’s not for everyone. However, due to the high number of people who leave this job, maybe employers will start thinking about some ideas for employee retention in the future to try and keep more staff working for the business. Whether that’s revising the working hours or improving the onboarding process, it would be beneficial for managers to try and keep their staff from leaving. Despite this, there are a lot of staff who love this job and enjoy coming to work. Sometimes, the industry just isn’t for everyone!
