Registration has open staff slots! We're the second largest dept in the convention with 85 staff and one of the most interactive places as you're the first staff they see before going into the convention! So if you're a people person this is the department for you!

We are pirates. We have a flag, a ship, and a large crew! ARRRR

3-4 hour long shifts once or twice a day.
Flexible hours - we will let you go see your favorite panel, event, etc. (as long as we aren't short on staff at the time and it's not excessive.)
Extremely friendly staff! Reg is more like a large group of friends working together rather than a large staff just doing a job.
Rooming is available but we will give priority to those who don't need a room. Rooms are staff only, you will be roomed with registration staff but attendees are not allowed in the room at any time.
Your badge is free and first year staff get 2 comps to hand out to 1friend/1family or both family. (anyone found taking advantage of this and not going to their shifts - your badge and the comps are removed and you may be banned from the convention.)
Throughout the year we have parties and picnics. Staff are active!
This is an awesome chance to meet new people, make friends and learn the inner working of Anime Central!
Volunteering for a non for profit organization looks AWESOME on a resume and we will be a reference if you need us to be. (you must work 1 convention to put ACen on your resume as a reference)

We're looking for outgoing people with cashiering skills, data entry skills, and who are just all around awesome! If you don't have skills in cashiering or data entry we can teach you

Registration times for staff begin at 11am on Thursday with training at noon. If you make it to an office training session it begins at 3pm Thursday and ends 4pm Sunday.

You must be 18 and older to apply.

Please email Registration@ACen.org with- (cut out the red font when turning this in) Jessica Nelson (FaithfulJello) is my Assist. Dept Head of Staffing and will be doing interviews with those who apply within the next 2 weeks.

Name - (you need a valid ID with your name, photo, etc on it to receive your staff badge at con)
Age -
Years you've attended ACen - (this is just for reference, it has no bearing on if we select you)
Why you want to become staff - (please give more than a few words This does have a baring on if we select you)
Do you need rooming -
Will you be available from Thursday 11am to Sunday 4pm? - (For some we do accept Friday as we know it's sometimes hard to get off work for Thursday but we can only accept this for a handful of people since Thursday we need staff )

We can't wait to go through your applications and add some awesome folks to our crew!

If you have any questions please feel free to pm me or faithfuljello, email them in, or even post here

Gofers are equally as awesome and don't have to commit that much time.

I'm fairly certain that you can request to do some Registration tasks such as monitor the lines and assist the cashiers with whatever they need. Gofers are always a huge help and you can see the sides of the convention that you usually would never get to see otherwise.

there's a thread in this same section (I think) that gives you the low down on becoming a gofer. If you're ever bored between panels or something, stop into the gofer hole and get acquainted.

We'll keep this thread open for registration questions though - Mods I apologize if I derailed off topic a little too far. (Lenne don't hurt me (too much) please )

[Carnage_Black3]

Info on gofering is in this section. I say, the more the merrier.

[Carnage_Black3]

And dreamgirl, pm me if you'd like any more info on gofering.

I've wanted to work reg for the past couple of years, and now that I'm finally 18 I have to take care of my school's anime club group that's going. :c

Do you guys ship the badges from the office near the Northeast Harper building still? [I think that's where last year's return address was.] I'd love to help send out badges next year if I can!
When should I ask about helping mail if I'm qualified?

[this_chick25]

I want to work Reg next year as well! I'm definitely signing up as soon as I can.

I'd sign up this year, but with Masq and all I'm not sure if I could do both, and I'm already committed to Masquerade.

[this_chick25]

I'll gladly lend my wild and crazy data-entry skills and sparkling customer service!

[Bloo09]

You can send in applications any time of the year, I've hired right up to 2 days before con. Since my staff is so large I constantly have people coming and going because of school, military, family, etc. Our office is located in Prospect Heights. Next years mailing is going to be done on a different schedule so I can't answer that until we hammer it out.

[Bloo09]

We're going to be doing in person interviews this Saturday at our staff meeting so if you're holding off on applying or thinking about it email us and show up! Even to talk and ask questions Please email with the mini form still, on top of that we do a more in depth interview and answer any questions you may have.

[Bloo09]

Need more apps! We would LOVE to meet our applying folks this Saturday at the Hyatt around 2pm! We can go over an in person interview and answer any questions you may have! No pressure! It's not like we'll be drilling you, the interview is more to figure out which section of registration would be best for you! Feel free to PM me or faithful Jello my assist. dept. head of staffing for reg if you have any questions and email in your applications! we have 30 days to fill 30 staff positions!

[Bloo09]

We just had 2 more leave due to family issues. Send in your apps! If we don't fill up on staff I'm going to have to cut stations and that's going to mean longer lines >.< If you're debating joining staff now is the time to decide Reg rocks !

[Carnage_Black3]

Bloo, are you just bumping so this thread appears first in the Help Wanted section?

On a related note, I vote Bloo, staff spammer. I'm seeing "Come to reg" Everywhere. lol Just kidding.

[Carnage_Black3]

Again with the pirates. I'm half expecting to see you guys with parrots on your shoulders this year. I might have to bring my eyepatch to fit in.

[Jello]

Yes please apply!!! Send us your applications. Show up on saturday and meet us awesome reg folk!! No but seriously send me your apps!! Lol Please...... Dont make me beg...... It wont be pretty lol

[Carnage_Black3]

For the love of anime, sign up for reg. When they beg, they show no quarter.

[Bloo09]

WE HAVE A PIRATE FLAG!!! AND HAMSTER!!! AND SHIP!!!! Soon to be SHIPS!!!

Reg is awesome.. And we still have rooming slots left! Even if you've already registered for ACen you can still apply and we'll work out with you what happens with your attendee badge

Reg has events and parties all throughout the year, we even are looking into going camping this summer! It's an extremely active and friendly department that you should apply to !

[Carnage_Black3]

We all know you're recruiting slaves to row these ships. And when the heck did you get a hamster?

[Bloo09]

behind the blue curtains are hundred of hamster wheels with hamsters running and powering our computers. We have converted one of these hamsters into a pirate and he is now registrations mascot. You will get to see him at con

[Carnage_Black3]

No wonder the computers run so slow.

[Bloo09]

we got new computers last year and upgraded our hamsters! no longer using celeron! we now have pentium 4s! woooooo

[Carnage_Black3]

4 hamsters per computer now?
