Goldstar Global Gig one of few lead for week of March 21st

A recruiter from Goldstar Global is recruiting up to three people from the green bay area to work Mon-Thus 8pm-6am, so for one week four shifts overnight, a little way to pick up a little extra cash with potentaially more work to come. Didn't have the work posted on their own website, I found the ad on craigslist, and Diane responded within the hour and wants to hire people over the weekend to work March 22nd-March 25th.

Not the ideal in my jobsearch as I had set out yesterday morning and walked onto the recocstruion job of military ave in green bay, Dorner is doing the sewer utility work amonst several other cotnracters and road jobs in the area. I got told they still had 14 of their regular employees out of work, so although I did pass my resume off with a good verbal selling of myself, that job looks dim. Hopefully I have better luck with Lunda on the 172 job or any other local construction contracters.

So on my list, a few construction places I need to apply to EEO or by whatever means, and hope they have work and not too many workers. (Its a shame I don't really know anybody, cause that helps):
Dorner, Lunda, Degroot, and even the city? I used to work for Hillcrest Homes in highschool and even heard from one of their employees I should reapply, but got shut down by a lady at the front desk who said they weren't hiring, hung up on me before I knew the conversation was over.

Should would be nice to get a 9-5 or regular stable day job, but for now it's every little bit I can find.



Overall yesterday left me feeling rough, but I also have one response I'm waiting for from Across The Nation Promos, sent me an email about a concert on March 27th they needed staff for, and then posted a less detailed ad on craigslist a few days later. Nice I got the email before the ad and responded, but I haven't heard back. So we'll see as the date approaches.

Cast as Henry in Return Engagement at Green Bay Community Theater!

Auditions have now been set for the final production of Green Bay Community Theatre's 2009-2010 season. Return Engagements by Bernard Slade, is the charming and funny play that examines the complexities of the human relationship over years time. Director Michael Laskowski is seeking eight actors; 4 men and 4 women.

Daisy: Age 23-25. Artistically ambitious actress. Rather thorny and humorless though.
Raymond: Age 18. Insecure and much too eager to please.

Joe: Age 24-26. Unpolished and rugged appearance of a former athlete.
Miranda: Age 25-27. Warm and open with a witty sense of humor.

Oliver: Age 31-33. Sarcastic and volatile.
Fern: Age 29-31. Bright and pleasant with an academic manner.

Henry: Age 27-30. Precise and unimaginative, though kind and decent.
Dawn: Age 20-22. Ditsy and perky.

Auditions will be February 22 and 23 at 7:00pm. Performances will be April 8-10 and 14-18 2010. Scripts are available at the theatre for rent. Please contact the theatre box office at 920-435-6300.

Above is the post that I responded to, and I have to say I'm glad I went on both open audtion days as something unexpected happened to me. I got on stage and suddenly I was nervous! I didn't expect this, and performed poorly. The next day I took a deep breath and with slightly more preparation went to my audition again, and did much better, I was cast. 


I was cast as Henry and have been enjoying my rehearsals with the Green Bay Community Theater, one of the longest standing theaters in the state of Wisconsin. Tickets are 16 dollars or 8 for a student, the theater is located at 122 N Chestnut Ave, Green Bay, WI 54303. Showtimes will be April 8-10; 14-18, 2010, call the theater at 920.435.6300 for tickets.


This is my first foray into acting in theater, I've long been a patron and fan of the arts, although only recently expressed an interest. Perhaps my inspiration is derived from the recent promotional modeling/brand promotion/field marketing gigs I've been involved in since this last fall, perhaps my recent work at the haunted house Terror on the Fox, or perhaps peer pressure. 


It's an unpaid gig, actors at community theaters tend to be unpaid volunteers, but it's an experience. I intend to add it to my resume, and my goal is that I perform well enough to use it as a stepping stone to real paid work in acting, modeling, or any foothold in the entertainment business available.


*sigh* What cheesy picture *sigh*

Coke Zero Promo bashed by weather at Packer Fan Event







http://www.oneredplace.com/



Redline staffing put me to work on a promo at Packer Fan event held at Lambeau Field on 3/12 and 3/13. Our promotion was for Coke Zero, which I've personally noted has been really pumping the area, especially packer events, with similar field marketing.

We began with a setup of coolers/stands outside Momentum's Truck with the Coke Zero labeling across its walls and set up multiple signs, stands, and speakers. We handed out three ounce plastic cups, all coke labeled, with samples to the crowd on their way into the stadium and offered them a full can on their way out. Over the course of the two days we managed to hand out a couple thousand cans, and at least went through a full pallet of product. One thing we did for market activation was a small contest, text a picture message to a Coke Zero number and every tenth person would win a tshirt. Simply focus on the box and send and it would respond whether you won or lost and staff reward accordingly.



Although these events tend to gather a small crowd of their own as people want to chat with you, thank you for the sample, and participate in interactive events such as the contest, the weather plagued. The event was scheduled for five hours Friday night, of which it began to rain, soaked our crew, and drove the crowd to rush from their cars to indoors. Also, who really wanted a cold soda on a freezing day. The next day rain held off but powerful winds had the same effect on the crowd, and were so rough as to bend our 20 ft sign sideways so many times we took it down as hazardous, and even blew speakers over (that were set on the ground)



Momentum World Wide is the company handling the mobile tour for Coke Zero, and they have a 10 month contract for 2010, great for them! Redline staffed myself, a friend of mine, and four other people locally for the event.

Even though the weather was miserable I had a great time as I always love being out making money (and even though the weather and this job was rough I still have a strong experience that promo's are great fun) and felt even doubly great as I was schedule both days at my part time job at Jackson Hewitt and yet was able to switch both days with coworkers and not lose any hours! Made my weekend Awesome!
