Jobs
and Careers at Capability Events
As you can see from
our website we are expanding and exciting company.
We always require
interesting and exciting people to help us grow.
Bar Staff
We always require
Bar Staff and Cocktail Flair Bar Staff. Our events are exciting
but hard work. If you would like to work for us, part time, we are
looking for strong competent individuals. You must have your own
transport, mobile phone and preferably a GPS. Our events are all
over the UK but the majority are in the south of the country with
many being inside the M25. We are particularly after good looking
personnel who are very confident and outgoing. If you are good and
reliable then we will use you more and more.
Before you call
or email make sure you have looked through our website and understand
what we do. We are not a staff agency and any events you work
on will be our own for clients. Bar Staff will be expected to
help with event set up, running the event and breakdown. Late
night are guaranteed but so is plenty of fun. Wages are very
good if you are!
Please send you
CV or a quick email with your contact detail on it to:-kate@capabilityevents.co.uk

Here is some general info for those seeking work at an events
company.
Can I suggest the following if you intend to get into events.
Some of these may apply to you some may not. This is general advice
for anyone applying to event companies.
1. Take to time to read an event companies website and learn about
them. If you do not know what they do they will not give you the
time of day so spend 10 mins looking at their site.
2. For goodness sake check your spelling, syntax and grammar.
Get someone else to read through your CV, Letter or email to check
it is correct in every aspect. You would be amazed at the number
of badly spelled emails we get.
3. Don't send Word docs. Save your document as PDF and send
it through. Word Docs are terrible at cross compatibility, your
time spent laying out your CV so it looks nice is wasted if my
version is different from yours. Send PDF's
4. Always include a sensible, suitable for work, picture of yourself.
We are human, we want someone who will represent the values and
professionalism we wish to show to our clients.
5. Get a real world, non AOL, Hotmail or Yahoo email address.
No one takes a email address such as Imapricess@hotmail.com seriously.
6. Clean up your public Facebook profile. Yes we do check you
out on Google, Bebo and Facebook Etc.
7. If you have no experience, no one will take you on to
organise or manage events, Period. So get experience. Get
out there, organise events from charity parties or fun
runs to volunteering to work at events for the council
etc. And make sure you photo document what you have done. A blog
is ideal for this.
8. Event companies really need Event sales people first and foremost
because organising an event is easy. Selling the concept to a client
is the hard part. So get some sales experience. We don't sit here
with loads of event to plan, we have to go out and get clients
to give us money to then organise their event. So sell sell sell.
And document what you have done in your blog.
9. Everyone you meet in events from caterers to event organisers
should be in your contacts book. Build your network.
10. Join our Capability Events Crew pages on Facebook and keep
your ear to the ground. We advertise work on FB. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17716112748
PS. Never give up, Never moan, Always smile, Never turn your phone
off, Never be late, Be reliable. Good Luck.
Our testimonials
speak for themselves:-
Ben,
Two weeks on, time to reflect. Many thanks indeed for Capability
events contribution to the success of the above party. Your
understanding of the needs and behaviour of the target audience,
and ability to satisfy and control it on the night, does you
immense credit. Well done! Your additional input into the vexed
question of electrical equipment safety, was very much appreciated. I
feel you have the right ingredients to make a very successful service
company and I wish you the very best for the future. Should you
wish for a more formal endorsement or any further support, do not hesitate
to contact me.
Best regards
Mike Tunnell

Ben,
Just a quick note to say thanks and congratulations for the splendid
job Capability Events performed at our recent Village Bash
which was a huge success.
Feedback from your staff on the night confirmed that commercially
it was a success and we sincerely hope that you'll be
able to work with us again next August Bank Holiday.
Please pass on out thanks to all concerned.
Regards,
Gary

Large corporate ball within a big top marquee. At midnight we fired
giant glitter cartridges over the dance floor.

Celebrity guests enjoy the red carpet treatment.

Private house lit for a Halloween party. We picked out the pillars
of the house with red uplighters close to the base. The courtyard
was also lit with real flame torches.

The Court is dramatically lit for a large ball with free fairground
rides. We used city colours to wash the front of the Court. This
allowed the whole facade to slowly change colour throughout the
night.
