Paid Hospitality Help Needed
Dr. Carol Noren is looking to hire three students to help her host a reception on Thursday, November 30, 2017.
Anyone interested should have some familiarity with hospitality work, be able to be on their feet for about 5 hours, and be able to make their own way to the work site (this would mean taking the red line to Clark & Division, then walking about a block south to the Church of the Ascension at 1133 N. LaSalle). If needed, Dr. Noren can provide a ride back to campus once the job is complete.
You would need to report to work at 5:15 pm, and wear a white shirt/blouse and black skirt or trousers. Each worker will be paid $100 for the evening’s work.
Anyone who is interested must first get in touch with Dr. Noren at cnoren@northpark.edu or telephone 773 267-8864.
