- Lift and carry heavy equipment (often up to 50 - 75 lbs)
- Stand for extended periods of time
- Follow instructions and be aware of their surroundings at all times
- Effectively communicate with fellow staffers and volunteers

Time Commitment
- Fur Squared Staff will be expected to work a minimum total of 14 hours during the current convention cycle. As an AV staffer, most of that time will be worked during the convention itself.
- Staffers are not limited to 14 hours. AV staffers will often work well past the 14 hour minimum requirement due to the nature of the role. You are welcome to request to work as many or as few hours as you would like as long as the minimum is met
- Working extra hours will be at the discretion of your lead or the department head. We want to ensure that you are not overworking yourself and that you are getting adequate rest.
- Please note that, by its nature, the AV team is often up late. The dances usually do not wrap up until 2am and the room is not fully shut down until 2:30-2:45am. Not all AV staff are expected to remain on site until that time, however all AV staff will be expected to be able to fill those slots if needed. A schedule will be created as the con draws nearer so as to ensure that all staffers are able to get proper rest.
