Each rounds results will be posted on the big screen in the multi-purpose room—this is how you will know when you are competing and if you have advanced to the next round. You may use PowerPoints, handouts, or other materials for your sales pitch, but they are not required. (Be prepared for technology to fail- bring hard copies of material!) Arrive at the interview suites at least 10 minutes before your scheduled competition time. Any questions about the product can be answered by Gartner next week. What you need to know when it’s your time to compete 1. Arrive Early – Be at the interview suites 10 minutes before your scheduled competition time. 2. Wait in Line – After waiting in the “bullpen”, you will be directed to stand outside your assigned room. Each room will have a volunteer timer stationed outside. 3. Entering the Room – A supervisor at the end of the hall (Jen, Ella, Kirsten) will count down from 5. When they reach 1, that is your signal to knock on the door and enter to begin your role-play. a. Your 20-minute timer starts as soon as you knock. What you need to know when it’s your time to compete 4. Time Warnings – a. Your timer will knock at 19 minutes to give you a one-minute warning. b.

Each volunteer will be assigned a specific job for a designated time slot, but you are required to be present and ready to assist throughout the entire competition. Detailed job descriptions can be found on the following slides. Timers Each competition room will have an assigned timer responsible for keeping track of time. Start your phone timer as soon as the competitor knocks on the door. Follow these knocking cues: ○ At 19:00 minutes → Knock once to signal one minute remaining. ○ At 20:00 minutes → Knock again to indicate the round is over (the competitor must stop immediately). ○ At 25:00 minutes → Knock and inform the seller that the next round will begin shortly. During the Role-Play, Remember: Keep your voice low → You must not speak louder than a whisper or in a way that competitors can hear you. You may bring → Laptops and headphones are allowed. Watchers All students will store their coats, backpacks, and other personal items in the Eship Lab, which will serve as the designated storage area and lunchroom. You will work in shifts to monitor the stored belongings while competitors are participating in the event. Cleaners Volunteers will be needed to pick up trash in the multipurpose room, the lunch room, and in the pavilion This will make tear down much quicker at the end of the day Bullpen Masters Proactively roundup competitors and remind them to head to the interview suites before the 10-minute arrival requirement. At the 10-minute mark, check the bullpen to see if any competitors have not yet arrived Walk around and find any competitors who have not reported on time. Career Fair/Passport Table Collection Ensure that all students pick up and turn in their career fair passports.
