Where is this student job located?
+
We try to plan the in-store activations and events as close to your home as possible. It is important that you have a car available for flexibility and to bring all your equipment.
What is my wage and working hours?
+
The hourly wage is € 13 / hour and will be paid monthly. The working days are usually Saturday and Sunday from approximately 10 am to 5 pm. We try to limit the distance from your home to your event as best as possible with a drive of up to half an hour. Flexibility is a must during events.
Why do I need a car?
+
You will work at a different location every weekend and will need promotional material to be able to do your job properly. Unfortunately, you cannot travel with your material by bicycle or public transport.
Can I apply with no experience?
+
Yes of course! We are big fans of purpose, curiosity and learning on the job, so our only requirement is your commitment to your job! We will support, engage and invest in your development as a brand activator. We will also invest in a qualitative and paid nutrition & sales training, so you are fully prepared for the job! In addition, we provide extra coaching sessions and evaluation moments throughout the year.
I know nothing about dogs and/or cats
+
That is not a problem! If you are a petlover, then you are the person we are looking for! You will get nutritional information in your training.
Can I still apply if I am not available every weekend and cannot work during the exam period?
+
You can still apply! We know student life can be hard and we always take that into account. We will ask about your availability at the beginning of every semester, so we can make a schedule for the months ahead.
When will I hear back after submitting my application?
+
We receive a lot of applications and try our best to get back to you as soon as possible! It can take up to three weeks before you receive a response by email, so don't panic if you haven't heard from us yet!
Do I work alone or in a team?
+
No two days are the same! You will work both independently and in teams. Some days you will work alone during an in-store activation and other days you will work with a super fun team, going on a dog walk or having fun at the fair! Lots of variation!
Does E&C take the corona regulations into account?
+
The corona regulations are respected in the shops and at events. We provide hand sanitizer and a mask, while assuring the necessary distance can be kept between customers.

What other
Brand Activators say:

I’ve been a part of E&C since 2018 and it really feels like a big family! There are lots of opportunities to grow in the company. Even from day 1 I got more responsibilities! Now I’m also helping with organising activations and events. E&C also organises cool teambuildings and gives enough training to work confidently.
Kirina - 22 years - Student Nursing studies
During my animal management training, my interest in animal nutrition has increased enormously. That’s how I ended up at E&C in 2019! Here I get to work with my passion. During internal training courses, I get the opportunity to broaden my knowledge, not only in the field of animal nutrition, but also in communication and sales. Because of this, I develop myself further and I am prepared for a real job after my studies.
Sven - 21 years old - Student Animal Management
E&C gives me the chance to develop my social skills, whilst also meeting dogs in (pet)stores! Knowing that I’m helping customers to make responsible choices regarding dog food & packaging, makes me feel great. Every weekend is different; one day I'll work with a dog photographer, another day I’m giving treats to dogs at a festival.
