As a
Nationwide agency Linking Promotions needs to be extremely critical with the
staff accepted on board and deem worthy of becoming “Links”. Breaking through
this industry can be very difficult and in some instances it’s about “knowing
someone who knows someone”. These are the top 6 qualities Linking Promotions
looks for in aspiring Links!!
Go get it
attitude! :
First
impressions to any agency are tremendously important and a person’s drive to learn and willingness to work can be a great way to get a foot in the door.
Amazing
personality with emphasis on the “ZING”! :
A front
runner in the industry will have that certain quality that helps attract a
crowd. If it’s making people laugh, feelings welcomed or confidence, own it!
Professional
appearance:
Natural
beauty is always a plus, but light makeup is definitely encouraged. Going to a
casting or showing up to an event where the agency provides uniform? Do not
show up in beach attire, gym sweats or otherwise street clothes. Agencies like
to know top quality individuals are being hired.
Timeliness:
This not
only includes arriving to events on time, but in returning phone calls or
emails same day. Stay on top of voice mails! If the job is no longer of
interest, extend professional courtesy by calling back and expressing gratitude
in the offer. This leads to the next tip…
Professional
Courtesy:
This
includes returning phone calls for job offers that are no longer of interest.
This means working the first job accepted, not the one that pays the most. This
means keeping ones word because of their work and professional ethics. The
agency one cancels on today, might have better opportunities down the line. Do
not burn bridges.
Experience:
Obviously
new comers will not have a promotional background but might have had previous
customer service experience. Waitresses are big on smiles and consumer
interactions and these are qualities staff will need on the field! This is the
same for volunteers or babysitters or anything involving team work.
On a personal note
Linking Promotions would like to express our gratitude in staff hired this
year, those who have excelled in each of the above qualities!
