Olympic Job Interview

7891368

I have a job interview next week for the position of an events host at the Olympics, the job description is as follows

Event Host
Role: to provide information and assistance to guests at all points of contact
whether at the hotel, on the coach or at venues. What we look for:
 Excellent presentation and communication skills
 Ability to be proactive and think on one’s feet
 Candidates with a ‘whatever it takes’ attitude

The interview is 3 and a half hours long, so it will be more that just a one on one interview.

Any ideas what else could be involved. Thanks in advance

I used to work for the ODA although your job will be with LOCOG. Sounds like they are doing group interviews if it is 3 hours long, sounds familiar to me.

Jiust go and enjoy it they are looking for fun bubbly people with common sense for these roles

That is correct. UK Security Services are doing it. I spoent 2 months in Beijing for the Beijing Olympics ( I work in IT ) and I had to configure brand new laptops and no Blackberrys were allowed only standard GSM phones and the laptops were built to Security Services standards so no pertinent data was taken to china.
