Become a VA-based Host/MC for the East Coast’s #1 Bar Trivia Company! (Brambleton, VA)
-
* Are you an outgoing person looking for a fun, part time position that hardly feels like working? Want to get regular experience speaking in front of a crowd, tap into your inner-nerd, and try your hand at DJing too?
* As a TriviaTryst Trivia Host, you’ll have the opportunity to work 1 to 3 nights a week at area bars, meeting new people and in many cases, enjoying free drinks. You’ll be in charge of setting up at the bar, hosting a live, gameshow-style trivia contest on the microphone, keeping score, and presenting prizes to teams.
* Starting pay is $75 per event (about 2.5 hours) but as your events become more successful you can earn more based on the number of teams playing, making it possible to earn $50 or more per hour. The timing for a typical event is from about 8:00-10:30 in the evening. The job involves reading from a script, but the best hosts add color with their own personality.
* Although we may have other opportunities available in the future, we are currently looking for people to work in the BRAMBLETON,VA area.
* Due to later evening work hours that make it difficult to rely on public transport, it is a necessity to have access to a car.
* The most successful hosts are:
- Personable – Socially savvy, able to quickly meet & connect with new people
- Socially Assertive – Can assert control over drunk/flirtatious (and occasionally argumentative) bar patrons
- Have an “Inner Nerd” – Can pronounce foreign and academic terms and nuanced questions intelligently
- Have a Good Sense of Humor – Are able to improvise jokes based on situations that arise* If you’re interested, send an email explaining why you are a good fit for the job of Trivia Host. Attach a photo and a resume highlighting any experience you may have performing or speaking in front of a crowd. Specify your current location, how far you are willing to travel to events and whether or not you have a car. You must have your own laptop to bring to events and access to a printer — all other equipment and training is provided.
* If selected, we will contact you to set up an interview.
