Of course, the odds of being a guest handler, which everyone will want to do, are slim. More likely you will get stuck selling coupons or crowd control. tongue

But don't let my words deter you from volunteering! I heartily recommend the experience. Its generally worthwhile, no matter what you are doing happy
"Floater" is a good position to have because you could actually get picked to be a Guest Escort... thats what happened to me the first day of C3.

Guess what I got today? An email telling me I have been chosen as a volunteer for Official Pix, pretty cool huh?? So, who else is volunteering??
I got mine too. But then again I had e-mailed Anne within a few days of C4 being announced promising to volunteer. LOL

I got a note from Anne announcing me as an OPX volunteer (YAY!)

Be nice to me out there, it's my first time volunteering (for anything for that matter)!

Yeh, I got my confirmation as a volunteer.

obi-TN, I agree with you, I mentioned in the application in the "What you didnt like about volunteering for OfficialPix" part about the commpensation. Hell, I am volunteering and I am not really in it for the "stuff" BUT if they are goign to compensate us I would rather it be what I need to complete my collection that random autographs. I am pretty picky about the picture I have autographed, having it personalized, and getting the few signers I do not already have.

My advice for the new guys, just be nice, smile, and most of all use your head. My last day I was crowd control and ended up being a personal escort for Bai-Ling, mostly because I ****-blocked the guy who was suppose to be doing it. He kinda looked confused as to where he was suppose to take her and I jumped in as fast as I could.

At CIII, on the last day some volunteers got together to trade the autographed photos they received - it worked out for me because I received ones that I already had. Maybe we can do that again this time around.

I'd also be glad to trade. I don't collect autographs so I'm willing to trade just about all mine. I worked at C3 and ended up giving some of mine away. I still have some I dug out recently. I'm thinking about taking them to C4 and maybe giving them to some of the younger fans. I heard lots of kids asking their parents for money to buy autographs.

Yeah, I just found that out. Maybe it's cuz I asked Anne myself about that. I'm signed up!

I like the trading idea. Maybe at the end on Monday we can get together at OP and see what everyone got.

So I might as well ask... anyone have any horror stories to tell about your volunteering for OPX? Not with the company specifically but more with customers, etc? Just curious since I have been accepted as a volunteer and would like to prepare for the worst. lol

Nope -- everyone I dealt with was happy to be there and get autographs. Didn't have any "problem customers." I was a guest escort and shift leader, and everything went smoothly the times I was there.
