Before you leave
Confirm the venue address, arrival time and contact person. Prepare the agreed clothing, a charged phone and the details you may need for the journey back. The end of public transport services may not match the end of the shift, so check the return arrangement separately.
At the venue
Ask to see the spaces relevant to your work and identify the supervisor. Clarify table assignments, breaks and how to request support. If the duties differ from the offer, discuss that before starting rather than leaving an important disagreement until the end of the evening.
Afterwards
Check how your attendance and any variable pay are recorded. Note practical questions for the next shift and consider the time you actually need for rest. Your first evening is also an opportunity to assess whether the working arrangements match what was explained beforehand.
