process
- Candidates willing to volunteer at Serendipity Arts Festival from December are required to register on the website.
- The Serendipity team will Interview the shortlisted candidates. These interviews are necessary because they provide a dynamic platform for assessing candidates beyond their resumes. Through interviews, we will gauge a candidate's qualifications, interpersonal skills, problem-solving abilities, and overall fit. The face-to-face interactions will enable a comprehensive evaluation that goes beyond what can be conveyed on paper, helping us make informed decisions about hiring.
- Shortlisted candidates will be informed about their selection over email with details about their reporting and deployment at the Festival.
- All selected candidates will undergo induction & orientation training before the Festival. A POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassments at Workplace) training will also be imparted to all the volunteers before they hit the ground.
- Following the induction, volunteers will see their location and meet their venue manager for further duties.
- Everyday attendance will be marked at the venue of deployment by the supervisor/manager. The volunteer will be eligible for Per Diem only for the days they are marked present. The volunteer can inform their supervisor if they would like to eat dinner a day in advance, as fulfilling requests on the same day will not be possible.
