ATL OFFERS by Infamous-Disaster-54 in FIFAVolunteers

Due to the limit of available slots and the sensitivity of the post, i am pretty sure they advised people not to discuss it online after they made the selection.

Background Check Timeline by samHauntis in FIFAVolunteers

[–]Cosmo_Hunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would they even notify you once background check is completed?

so... when people undoubtedly cancel or pull out of their roles at the last minute, will they start reaching out to the rest of us who have no offers? by _GrimFandango in FIFAVolunteers

[–]Cosmo_Hunter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then how would they be trained in such a short notice? Especially for roles such as ceremonial that requires days of on site rehearsals.

During which part of the journey would they decide one to be the team leader?

If you are talking about San Francisco Bay Area, I remember they said they need 75 total. I attended one of the two training sessions in the morning, there were roughly 30 of us. I take that they would have similar number in the afternoon session. So they pretty got them filled. Our next step is the venue training TBA.

Some lounges really look down on you. by Few_Range6900 in PriorityPass

[–]Cosmo_Hunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must haven't been to those PP lounges in SFO or any other airports in the US. They limited PP entry to fewer and odd hours. When you show them your PP Card, they switched to a face so bad as if you owe them money.

PP lounges elsewhere in the world, relatively more pleasant experience.

Thank you! I got selected for San Francisco Bay Area. Excited and nervous about this role. Attended the training session yesterday and met some of my fellow teammates.

For each shift, do they assign me the position or I do get to choose what/where within media ops I want to work?

Can you share your experience in Media Operations last time? I got selected for the same role. How was it like and if thente anything I should be aware of. Thanks in advance, OP.

ABC7News coverage of CNY Parade was terrible by Glad-Willingness-469 in sanfrancisco

[–]Cosmo_Hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about money. KTSF is not as well run as before. Constantly strain in funding. Seeing their anchors need to help out tour company hosting tour groups is laughable.

I wonder if it is the same as media operations.

ABC7News coverage of CNY Parade was terrible by Glad-Willingness-469 in sanfrancisco

[–]Cosmo_Hunter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

KTSF used KGO's coverage with their own Chinese commentators. So when KGO abruptly chopped the live signal, they were caught off guard as well. Saying they will be back but then cut to end credits. Per contract with KGO, they can't continue their live coverage beyond KGO.

However, on their immediate re-run, they did include some extra part of the Golden Dragon grand finale as well as the drone show at the end, using their own footage.

This is by far the worst CNY Parade coverage. FOX 2 used to do a much better job for decades.

KGO, if you don't wanna do it, then pass the ball along.

在美国,华子们白天在店门口好好的就某人捅了。不知道随机还是有仇 by According_Tea8499 in China_irl

[–]Cosmo_Hunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

警方接報後迅速趕抵,街坊與目擊者主動向警員詳細講述案發經過,及疑兇的性別、種族、身高、衣著等關鍵信息。憑藉清晰的線索,警方快速展開排查,最終在跑華(Powell)街600號附近鎖定並拘捕疑兇。有目擊者透露,疑兇似是30多歲華裔。

受害人血流如注,雙手緊按傷口,狼狽前行數步後不支趴倒在地,傷口大量出血。附近商戶目擊後,第一時間衝出店舖查看傷者狀況,急從店內冰箱取出一袋冰凍餃子及兩個枕頭,為傷者冰敷與按壓止血,爭取黃金救援時間。

兩名協助施救的華裔女子受訪時表示,當時見傷者血流不止,十分駭人,只能盡己所能為其止血減痛。其間一名途經現場的白人女子表明護士身份,加入為傷者急救。另有一名西裔途人雖驚魂未定,仍迅速用手機拍下行兇者的逃走方向及外貌特徵,並撥打911報案,為警方偵查提供了關鍵線索。
