CREW

Click the Apply Now button above and create your RemX profile application – here you will complete basic employment information, as well as W4, Form I9, & payroll information and other forms.

Please note, the “Desired Branch Location” on your application is pre-set to Dallas, TX. This is where Keith’s RemX office and his team are located, and where we need your application to be housed – don’t change the branch location when you submit your application.

After this is completed, you will be emailed RemX with your next steps. Once RemX has you completely onboarded they will send a survey so you can tell them who you are, what you can do and if you worked at FAN EXPO Chicago or any other local cons before.

Please let RemX know this when you complete their survey. Naturally the more shifts you do, the more on-the-job knowledge you gain, so we love it when you can work for more than one day. People who can work more than one day will be given priority.

As a paid Crew member, you are responsible for your own transportation, parking, accommodation, and food. You’ll receive a FAN EXPO Chicago show shirt. If your shift ends early the day you are scheduled, then you can attend the con for the remainder of that day.

As a paid Crew member, we will try to place you where you’ve got prior experience – be sure to tell RemX if you’ve worked in a certain area before. However, in this paid role we may need to move Crew members around to different areas of the show based on where it’s busy or slower. We require flexibility in this regard. No one on Crew “owns” a certain position or placement at the show. Requesting to be placed with a specific Celebrity Guest tends to make our fanboy/fangirl radar go off and can ultimately influence decisions on if or where you are scheduled.

Make this request directly to RemX because they are responsible for scheduling. Generally, friends can’t take breaks together, but if you are carpooling be sure to tell RemX who you’d ideally like to start and finish with each day.

Please connect with RemX to discuss your specific situation. They may have a solution for you.

1. A FAN EXPO Chicago Crew T-shirt will be provided.
2. Casual dress code includes the following: jeans (without rips or tears), khakis, shorts, knee-length skirts, capri pants.
3. Footwear – please wear comfortable shoes.
4. Wearing cosplay accessories and character bounding are permitted and are a fun way to show your fandom, however being in full cosplay when you are on shift, is not permitted. Your Crew T-shirt must be worn at all times when you are on shift.
5. Practice good personal hygiene. Avoid using excessive amounts of perfumes, colognes, and/or hairsprays that may cause a problem for allergy sufferers.

Crew members are responsible for dressing according to this policy for their shifts and checking with supervisors about dress that is appropriate and safe to wear. In the case of a different dress requirement based on an activity or event, crew members are responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate clothes for the shift.

FAN EXPO Chicago is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment.
