for this woman, it provided a way into work as a steward, though, she says, shifts are now harder to come by. after eurovision, i got a few shifts. they were like violinist and some comedy show, comedians show. and i worked in different places. how easy or how difficult has it been to get shifts since eurovision? it s difficult now. it s not always i get the shift because of, i think, because of a lot of people try to take a shift as well. there are more people wanting the shifts than there are shifts to go round, it sounds like. yes. but it s hoped events like this will support some jobs in the longer term, with the city anticipating that an influx of visitors over the three years after eurovision could bring in another £200 million. we have got that opportunity to really say to showcase,
we re here for visitors to come and see us. let s grow the visitor economy again. let s do it with the community. make sure that we are. it s worth net good for the city region. and at this jobs fair, they re trying to do just that helping people to access anyjob opportunities that come along as a result. it s like a good place to come and there s just lots of different types ofjobs in one place. so it d be like shooting fish in a barrel, hopefully. it s been really good and i ve learned a lot of different things about like different jobs that i didn t think would be a part of it. i ve discovered i seem to have loads of transferable skills that would be helpful there. so yeah, it s been quite useful really. while the rising cost of living continues to eat away at household budgets, the feel good factor from events like eurovision will lift the mood even more if it helps with finances too.
