Reality check
This is neither a full-time sales/admin job nor an events management
role but will allow you to do a bit of everything which will be
desk-based as well as hands-on, so a pro-active and can-do attitude is
needed. You would have to be equally content completing paperwork as
spending the day on your feet. This opportunity will give you variety on
the job but you need to be well-organised in order to keep track of
what you have going on. You need to be able to take responsibility for
your workload and to use your own initiative. The better you get on with
routine day-to-day tasks, the more varied the jobs will be.
