"Do's " and "Don't's"

Some Do's:

  • Identify yourself and position by wearing a name tag.

  • Keep the display and surrounding area clean.

  • Prepare yourself to answer the more obvious questions, including knowing where the restrooms and information booths are.

  • Psyche yourself up to be outgoing with a smile.

  • Listen carefully to be sure you understand the visitor's interest or concern.

Some Don'ts

  • Do not visit for an extended period of time with old friends, family or people in neighboring exhibits. This effectively blocks out the stranger.

  • Do not leave tools, equipment or personal possessions where they may be stolen.

You can benefit. Staffing a booth provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about people--how much they know about a subject, what their concerns are, and topics you should cover in your work. You may discover many volunteer opportunities and you may recruit others for the Master Internet Volunteer SM program. Enjoy it!
