Your staff profile on ToGet4U® is what a company reads before it chooses who it wants at its event. Your photo, the roles you put yourself forward for, your experience and your availability all sit on that one screen. A profile gets through a selection or drops out of it right there. You fill it in once and keep it current afterwards. Having only a couple of past events behind you, or none at all, is no obstacle to starting, as long as every field is complete.
What a company reads before choosing you
There is no interview on ToGet4U before a proposal, so your profile does the work an interview would do elsewhere. The platform shortlists the profiles that match the request by role, city and dates, and the client chooses from that shortlist. Each profile is read in a set order: the photo, the roles you offer, your experience and your availability on the requested dates.
Along with the request, the company states what it needs: the role, the city, the period and, when the event calls for them, a working language or a specific dress code. Your profile either answers those points in advance or stays out of the comparison, because nobody phones round to ask for a missing detail. Every field you leave blank is information the client doesn’t have and will never ask you for. The whole route, from sign-up to payment, is laid out in how ToGet4U works for staff.
The professional roles to select in your profile
One profile can cover several jobs. You can put yourself forward for event hostess and steward work (welcome desks, accreditation, reception and stand assistance), as a medical hostess at medical congresses, as a promoter for in-store activations and field marketing, or as a model for fashion shows, shoots and product presentations. Depending on how an event is put together, there is also work for interpreters, promotional models, entertainers and animators, bartenders, waiters, chefs, film extras and DJs.
Select every role you can genuinely handle, including the ones you have done only once. Each opens a different kind of request, so leaving out a role you know narrows the proposals that reach you. Adding one you have never tried carries the opposite cost, because it puts you at an event you can’t manage, and that shows on the day.
Your photo: one, recent and professional
Use a sharp close-up with light from the front, a neutral background, your face uncovered and your eyes on the camera. Clothing should suit the roles you apply for: a suit or smart outfit for hostess and steward work, a look in line with your own portfolio if you model, a uniform or white shirt for bar and catering jobs. If the platform also asks for a full-length shot, take it in the same session, since two images that match are worth more than six that don’t.
Leave out mirror selfies, cropped group photos, filters that change your features, pictures carrying another agency’s logo and shots from a few years ago. The reason is practical: the person who selects you has to recognise you at the entrance on the day of the event.
Experience counts even when it is short
A short CV is enough to start working, provided every line tells the reader something they couldn’t work out on their own.
If you have already worked at events
Two days at a trade fair carry weight if you write them up precisely, with role, type of event, city, period and the task you did. “Welcome and guest registration hostess, medical congress, Turin, March 2026” tells the reader far more than “experience in the events sector”. If you have covered different roles, keep them on separate lines, because welcome desk work, promotion and bar service each answer a different kind of request and the person selecting scans for the line that matches theirs.
If you are starting from scratch
You still have material to put in. Counter work and table service count, so does volunteering at a festival, and so do your languages written with their real level, B2 or C1 instead of a vague “good”. A driving licence and your own car for venues outside town are worth listing as well, together with safety or food hygiene (HACCP) certificates and your willingness to travel. Each of these settles a practical doubt for whoever is selecting, and they carry real weight when a company has asked for a language or an awkward shift.
Where padding starts
The one thing that doesn’t pay is padding: tasks you never did, events you didn’t work at, a language level that wouldn’t survive five minutes of conversation. An invented line holds up until the briefing and then becomes your problem in front of a client. Francesca Rubiola, CEO and Head Event Manager at ToGet4U, has said that even in occasional work availability is only part of it, and that preparation, precision and the ability to read and understand an offer properly count too.
Keeping your profile up to date counts
A profile that is not updated is an old profile, and that can keep you out of a selection. In peak weeks, 90% of selections are closed within 48 hours, so if your experience is still stuck on months ago, your profile can drop out of the comparison.
The habit that works is simple: update your profile every time you work a new event or gain new experience. With the ToGet4U app for iOS and Android you can update your profile and sign contracts from your phone, without waiting until you’re at a computer. Applying to events that don’t really interest you to catch more offers works against you, since withdrawing after being selected counts for more than an application never sent.
Where the requests you see come from
ToGet4U operates in Italy, Germany and Spain. Its job offers follow the events of the companies using the platform: more than 1,800 events in 2025, across trade fairs, congresses, promotions and corporate occasions. With over 50,000 professionals registered on the platform, the comparison between profiles is a real one, and complete fields are what set yours apart. If you can travel, say so: the trips you are willing to take and the cities you can reach widen the range of requests you fit.
Fee, contract and payment: what you know before accepting
You apply on your own, to the offers that interest you, straight from your account area. The fee is shown in each offer and you know it before you accept, so hours, travel and conditions get weighed with the figure already in front of you. Your contract is digital and you sign it on the platform.
How you are paid depends on how you work: on terms agreed case by case if you have a VAT number; without one, on scheduled dates for occasional work or on timing agreed case by case for an employment contract. For professionals the service is free, with no sign-up fee and nothing withheld for using the platform. Once your profile is complete you can find event jobs that are open now and apply to the ones that suit you.
Your profile after the first events
Filling in the profile doesn’t stop at your first application. Every event you work at is another line to add, written with the same precision as the others: role, type of event, city, period. The dashboard keeps a history of your events, so when you update the experience section you’ll find dates and names there instead of relying on memory.
Everything else in the profile ages along with your experience. A language taken from B1 to B2, a new certificate, a driving licence, a move to another city: these are short updates, and each one changes the requests you qualify for. Retake your photo when you no longer look like the one on your profile.
