Titles vary by company, so ask about the actual duties. ## Common requirements Organisers usually look for people who are punctual, communicate clearly, learn product details and can work the event schedule. This is adult work: CariTalent only lists talent aged 18 or older. Some ads list additional client requirements. Ask how they relate to the work. CariTalent does not rate physical appearance or publish body measurements. ## How to start 1. ### Step 1: Prepare a simple profile Use a clear headshot and a full-length photo in neat clothing without heavy filters. Add your base, reachable areas, languages and customer-facing experience. 2. ### Step 2: Learn products and scripts Practise a thirty-second product explanation covering approved benefits, usage and the correct price. Never add claims beyond the brief. 3. ### Step 3: Apply through clear channels Look for agencies or brands with an address, official contact and verifiable event history. You can check a company name on AHU Online. 4. ### Step 4: Attend the briefing Note working hours, meeting point, uniform, breaks, targets and the on-site coordinator. 5. ### Step 5: Build a portfolio After each job, ask permission to keep documentation and references. Record the event, role and date. ## How are promoters and ushers paid? Pay is usually per day or per shift, sometimes with sales bonuses for promoters. Ask whether meals, transport and uniforms are included, when payment is made and whether the agency deducts a fee. Rates vary by city, brand and event, and CariTalent does not publish unsourced pay ranges. Ask for written details before accepting. ## Job-ad red flags * You are asked to pay registration, mandatory training or uniform fees before working. * Venue, brand or working hours stay vague until the day. * You are asked for photos unrelated to the work or to attend a “casting” at a private location. * Pay is only promised verbally or is far above similar offers without explanation. ## Apply for a free talent profile CariTalent listings are free for talent aged 18 or older. Every application is reviewed, then prospective clients contact you directly. CariTalent does not manage talent, take commission or guarantee work.
