Vancouver Fashion Week – Call for Volunteers
Vancouver Fashion Week (VFW) is looking for volunteers for the Fall/Winter 2009 season of shows! If you are interested, email Shallom Johnson (VFW coordinator) at shallom@vanfashionweek.com with a cover letter and resume.
.
VFW is currently accepting applications for the following positions/roles:
- Show coordinators
- Stylists
- Designer liaisons (clothing/shoes/accessories/jewelry)
- Buyer liaisons
- Media liaisons
- Sponsor liaisons
- PR & marketing
- Makeup and hair coordinators
- Seating/VIP coordinators
- Backstage and front of house staff.
What VFW needs from you: effective communication skills, ability to multitask, prioritize tasks, delegate when necessary, work independently and with a team, accomplish many things under tight deadlines and have professional writing skills.
.
Experience in the fashion industry is not completely necessary but is a huge plus – it’s a lot easier to organize something of this magnitude when we have a team of people on board who understand how the industry works and what is required of them in that respect.
.
Show dates are still TBC but will be one week in March 2009. VFW needs people who can get on board from January onwards, and who are willing to make a firm commitment and deliver on their promises.
