Head hostess - a job with a lot of responsibility

Der Job als Hostess oder Host ist ideal für Studentinnen und Studenten, die sich nebenbei etwas dazuverdienen möchten. Die Aufgaben eines Hostessenteams sind vielfältig und hängen immer vom jeweiligen Kunden ab. So werden Hostessen und Hosts beispiesweise auf Messen, im Catering, für Modeljobs, an im Welcome Bereich, als VIP Eventhostess, für Werbe- und Promotionaktionen und viele weitere Anlässe eingesetzt. In diesem Job stellst du also Kontakt zu Kunden und Interessenten her, du repräsentierst das Produkt oder das Unternehmen und erfüllst ansonsten viele weitere Aufgaben rund um die Veranstaltung.

Head of the team - these are the tasks

Insbesondere auf Großveranstaltungen wie Messen sowie Firmen- und Sportevents werden Hostessenteams eingesetzt. Zudem werden große Veranstaltungen in der Regel immer mit einer Chefhostess durchgeführt. Hostessenteams sind auf der jeweiligen Veranstaltung für unterschiedliche Tätigkeiten verantwortlich. Diese Tätigkeiten können sich von Kunde zu Kunde sowie von Event zu Event etwas unterscheiden. Der Chief hostess kommt die wichtige Aufgabe zu, das Team zu leiten. Zudem fungiert sie als Bindeglied zwischen dem Auftraggeber und dem Hostessenteam. Wenn der Veranstalter des Events kurzfristige Änderungen vornehmen möchte, ist die Chefhostess seine Ansprechpartnerin. Zu diesem Zweck eröffnet sie beispielsweise vor dem Event eine WhatsApp-Gruppe. Dies erleichtert die Kommunikation mit allen Teilnehmern.

Other tasks include:

• Keeping a record of activities and noting down all times. The time sheet must be submitted on the same day.
• As head of the hostess team, you also brief the employees and are the contact person for employees and organizers.
• If there are disagreements in your team or with the organizer, you must settle them.
• It is also important that you schedule the breaks in consultation with the client and ensure that they are adhered to.
• You supervise the team during working hours and act as a role model.
• As head of the hostess team, for example, you make sure that everyone is aware of their activities and focuses on them. Constant smoking breaks and playing on your cell phone are not welcome.

If the customer has questions about earnings or the budget, it is the team leader's job to pass these on to the office. If a member of your hostess team does not show up at the agreed time or if something goes wrong, you report this to TRUST Promotion and the customer. This is the only way to provide replacements as quickly as possible. You also keep your team motivated. This is particularly important if the events last several days. If there is special clothing for the work assignment, it is your job to hand out the clothing, collect it later and check that it is complete. At the end of the event, you will evaluate how the event, the customer and the employees went.
