About the application

Hello! Thanks so much for your interest in joining the Hometown Market Days Co. Field Crew! We’re heading into YEAR 10, and this year we’re bringing a little GAME DAY energy to the show. Our Field Crew is a huge part of the HMD HOME TEAM — you’re the people on the ground helping vendors unload, move in, and get ready for the big weekend. It’s hard work, but it can be a lot of fun, and if you work hard, you can definitely make some extra money along the way! Here’s the game plan so you know exactly what to expect: # MEET YOUR TEAM CONTACT Bev Jackson is our Hometown Market Days Volunteer & Field Crew Coordinator and will be your main contact leading up to and during the show. If you have a question about your shift, schedule, where you need to be, or anything Field Crew-related, Bev is your person! # MEET YOUR FIELD CAPTAIN Kyeden Goodwin is our HMD Field Captain and will be leading the Field Crew during vendor load-in and load-out. Kyeden will help ensure everything runs smoothly with our vendors and will direct you throughout your shift on where you are needed and who needs help. When you arrive, check in with the HMD team and be ready to take direction from Kyeden. He’ll help keep the crew moving and make sure we have people where they are needed most. # ARRIVE READY FOR GAME DAY Please arrive a few minutes BEFORE your scheduled shift so you have time to get parked, walk to the building, and check in. You will NOT enter through the Convention Center's main entrance. Park in the parking lot and walk to the BACK (EAST) side of the Convention Center. You will enter through the LOADING DOCK DOORS and come into the exhibit halls from that side. When you arrive, check in with the HMD team before getting started. # YOUR FIELD CREW SHIRT We’ll provide you with a Hometown Market Days Field Crew shirt! You will need to WEAR YOUR FIELD CREW SHIRT EVERY TIME YOU ARE WORKING. This helps vendors easily identify you as part of the HMD Field Crew and helps our team know who is ready to jump in and help. Please wear your Field Crew shirt for every shift. # CHECK IN & TRACK YOUR HOURS When you arrive, you will need to sign the time sheet. Timesheets will be available when you come into the building. Please write legibly. PLEASE NOTE: We will NOT track your hours for you. You are responsible for: • Signing in when you arrive • Signing out when you leave • Making sure your time sheet is complete Your timesheet tells us how many hours to pay you, so please make sure it is completed correctly. # WHAT YOU’LL MAKE Field Crew members are paid $15.00 per hour PLUS tips from vendors you help load. And this is where being a great Field Crew member can really pay off! Some vendors are awesome tippers. Some, not so much. Your best game plan? Work hard. Be helpful. Be kind. Smile. Treat every vendor like they’re the most important person on the field. You never know who might be especially thankful for your help! # COME READY TO WORK This is a hands-on job, so please come prepared to move, lift, carry, and help vendors get their merchandise and displays from the loading area to their booths. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you can work in for several hours. November weather in Missouri can be unpredictable, and you may move between the loading dock, parking areas, and exhibit halls. Depending on the weather, you may want to bring: • Hat • Gloves • Coat or jacket • Comfortable, closed-toe shoes • Water bottle or drink Come prepared for whatever Missouri decides to throw at us! # PICK YOUR SHIFTS Take a look at the available Field Crew shifts and choose the ones that work for you. You may sign up for as many shifts as you would like. BUT... When you claim a shift, we are counting on you to SHOW UP. Our vendors are counting on us to have Field Crew available when they arrive, so please only sign up for shifts you know you can work. # IMPORTANT GAME-DAY NOTE We reserve the right to reduce Field Crew hours if the move-in schedule does not require as many crew members as we originally assigned. We will do our best to give everyone the hours they signed up for, but the actual need may change depending on vendor move-in. # YOU’RE PART OF THE HOME TEAM Thank you for being willing to be part of the Hometown Market Days Field Crew! You are an important part of making the whole weekend run smoothly. Our vendors remember the people who help them, and your attitude, work ethic, and kindness make a difference. Show up ready to work. Help where you’re needed. Listen to your Field Captain. Be kind to our vendors. Work hard. Have some fun. YEAR 10 IS GAME DAY. And you’re part of the HOME TEAM! LET’S GO, FIELD CREW! WAHOOOO! Mary & Janna + The HMD Team
