On The Scene with RMG Staffing: Job Fair at UM
If you’re interested in working in the hospitality or Event industry and haven’t walked through our doors or contacted us, do it now. We’re always looking for enthusiastic people that will help our clients prosper. Recently, RMG Staffing participated in a beautiful job fair held on the University of Miami campus. The event was attended by hundreds of people looking for jobs in various industries. Others were there to network and improve their careers. “Attending a job fair is one of many things one can do to landing a job,” says President and CEO of RMG Staffing Ricardo Michelangeli. “The job fair at UM gave us the opportunity to meet some of the best talents out there. It also gave prospective employees the chance to have face to face greetings with hiring managers. My advice is, if you’re looking for a job or another opportunity to improving your career don’t just sit in front of a computer and look on the internet. Be out and about and attend a job fair. It’s always great when an employer sees the faces behind those resumes.” So if you’re planning to attend a job fair soon, here are some key things you might do to increase the possibility of getting hired on the spot. Make a list of participating companies in advance and choose which companies interest you. Review prospective employers’ websites and social media presence. Dress in business attire. Bring more than 10 copies of your resume and include letters of recommendation. Practice your interview skills. Once you’re at the job fair: Review the job fair’s pamphlet and the area map. Begin your network with the companies you’re most interested in. Relax and be confident. If there is a wait to speak to the company representative, be patient and wait. Always greet with a firm handshake and a smile. The conversation with the company representative should be 50% listening and 50% talking. Get their contact information and certainly give yours if the conversation goes well. Thank them for their time. Before leaving the job fair: Review the list of contact information you acquired. Review the job fair’s pamphlet and see whether there were any companies you missed. Keep the pamphlet for future reference. The job fair at the University of Miami was one of many job fairs RMG Staffing attends regularly. If you’re ever at one of the many job fairs we attend, stop by our booth. We’re always looking for skilled individuals to join our exciting team.
Spread the Word: Help RMG Help End Lupus
A recently published study concluded that lupus is among the leading causes of death in young women between the ages of 15 and 24. It found that 28,411 young women died due to lupus in 2000 to 2015, ranking lupus as the 10th leading cause of death for women in that age group. RMG Event Staffing Agency is a huge supporter of Lupus Foundation of America and its efforts to bring awareness to lupus. We are also a proud participant of the annual Walk to End Lupus. Funded by Lupus Foundation of America the study also revealed that among black and Hispanic women with lupus ranked 5th in the 15 through 24 age group, 6th in the 25 through 34 ages group, and 8th-9th in the 35 through 44 ages groups, after excluding the three common external injury causes of death from analysis. Overall, lupus was among the top 20 leading causes of death in females between the age of 5 and 64. This study’s revelations on the effects of lupus on black and Hispanic women is one of the many reasons why last year our excellent staff walked in the Miami segment of the event and we can’t wait to do it again this fall. The Walk to End Lupus is held once a year in various cities across the United States but in order to ultimately help find a cure for lupus, the foundation needs our daily help to bring awareness to lupus. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can impact any part of the body. It affects millions of people worldwide and is challenging to live with an extremely difficult to treat. Despite the widespread prevalence of lupus and seriousness of the disease, rarely is it recognized as one of the leading-causes-of-death in young women between the ages of 15 and 24. At times a large percentage of deaths from lupus get attributed with the consequences of kidney failure or heart attacks. This study will help open the eyes of those who are not aware of lupus. In addition to awareness, the study goal is to highlight the seriousness of this potentially life-threatening lupus disease. Currently, lupus is not in the CDC’s annual selected list of causes of death for women. With the continued efforts of the Lupus Foundation of America and the supporting group of organizations, businesses and individuals more awareness can be raised and as a result, government leaders will form new policies that will enable more funding for research that will ultimately lead to a cure. That is why we at RMG Event Staffing look for every opportunity to spread the word and the message the foundation is trying to get across.
Giving Back: RMG helped Prepare Hundreds of Lunch Bags
Recently, RMG participated in an event to help curve the hunger and homeless population in the city of Miami. Held at the newly established Mr. Kream ice cream shop in Wynwood during the #HashtagLunchbag event, RMG and a list of other companies with big hearts pooled their resources together and organized this event to feed the hungry and the homeless. As a group, we put together lunch bags that included a healthy dose of food for those who we often see on the streets during our commutes to work and home. Miami has great weather year round but for those who don’t have a home to go to or a job to support themselves, when living on the streets our great weather could often turn into a scorching sun that wrecks havoc on the body. Combined with dehydration hunger can lead various diseases and ultimately lead to one’s death, especially during the summers. That is why RMG was so willing and ecstatic to be part of this amazing event. “I have been blessed in founding a successful company that finds jobs for those looking for work in the hospitality industry,” president and CEO of RMG Staffing Ricardo Michelangeli says. “And it provides me with great joy to help feed the less fortunate.” #HashtagLunchbag is not just a Miami event that feeds the hungry and homeless. It is a national movement that consists of businesses, organizations, and individuals whose main goal is to do anything and everything it takes not to have people die of hunger. #HashtagLunchbag began on Christmas 2012 in a Los Angeles apartment by a group of friends who were having trouble finding a fun & meaningful way to give back. They went to their local grocery store and bought enough food to prepare 100 homemade lunches. They hit the streets of Santa Monica and Venice Beach and gave nutritional and delicious meals to anyone that hadn’t had a healthy meal in a long time. After they were done, the group went on social media and shared their experiences in helping the less fortunate eat a healthy meal. They used #HashtagLunchbag with every post. Their post went viral. The group received an astronomical amount of support and got swarmed with likes, comments, calls, texts and e-mails by those wanting to get involved or create similar events in their local communities. The group’s initial meeting started in a small apartment and then moved into a Los Angeles restaurant. They went from making lunch bags with a few hundred to thousands. With their use of social media that intrigued and inspired their friends and their followers, the #HashtagLunchbag events became a movement that was able to be held various cities across the United States and help feed hundreds of thousands. They added love notes of encouragement to each meal to further acknowledge those they were feeding, reminding the less fortunate that they weren’t forgotten. To date, the organization has grown to 100 plus cities and hosted #HashtagLunchbag events all around the globe. Living Through Giving Foundation is the registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that now runs the organization. RMG was really happy to be part of this event and we encourage individual and other businesses to join or organize their own #HashtagLunchbag. Be a part of a great cause and help the less fortunate and empower humanity.
On The Scene with RMG Staffing: Veuve Clicquot Carnaval
Imagine sipping sparkling rosé champagne while mingling with the hottest celebrities in the entertainment world as a remarkable group of Colombian salsa dancers shake their bodies in effortless motion to the sound of Latin rhythms and pop music. On March 21, the renowned Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin French Champagne brand produced their fourth annual Veuve Clicquot Carnaval. Over 4,000 locals, celebrities, and influencers attended the event which was held at Museum Park. “This year, we were excited to expand the event overall,” Aygline Pechdo, vice president at Veuve Clicquot USA stated in a press release. “Our goal is to cultivate a unique, vibrant, and exciting experience for our attendees and continue to grow Clicquot Carnaval into the most highly-anticipated and must-attend event in Miami, year after year.” The festive gathering was in support of Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and our dedicated team at RMG Staffing was very much honored to have provided the staff for the event. Those in attendance included Insecure actress Issa Rae, Tessa Thompson from the blockbuster movies such as Creed and Thor: Ragnarok, Edgar Ramirez, Joan Smalls, Nacho Figueras, and Tyson Beckford. Also in attendance were social media influencers, journalists, and socialites. “We provided the staff for the Pegasus World Cup Invitational horse race that was held at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach earlier this year,” President of RMG Staffing Ricardo Michelangeli stated. “Veuve Clicquot Carnaval is another luxurious event that attracts successful leaders in various industries. The event has strong brand recognition and Veuve Clicquot is a five-star company that provides premium champagnes. The event was executed to perfection and we were honored to have been chosen to provide the staff that serviced the wonderful attendees.” Along with the salsa dancers, additional entertainment was provided by DJ and fashion tastemaker May Kwok and a live drumming display that included a group of drummers who maneuvered through the crowd, daring the attendees not to dance to the sound their pulsating beats. Veuve Clicquot used the event to celebrate their 200th anniversary of the world’s first blended rosé champagne, which was established in 1818. Italian luxury fashion house FENDI was also there to feature their FENDI x Veuve Clicquot Rosé Charm. The Rosé Charm is a stunning little bag charm colored in Veuve Clicquot’s iconic pink rosé hue. It’s made of soft pastel pink fox fur, with polka-dot motif in shades of orange and tone-on-tone leather lace and includes a palladium-finish spring clip with an engraved Fendi logo tag. The first Veuve Clicquot Carnaval was in 2015. The company brought the event to Miami to pay homage to the city’s tropical atmosphere and international flare. RMG Staffing was pleased to have participated in the event, and we can’t wait for 2019’s celebration.
RMG Staffing Celebrates MLS in Miami
Miami is finally getting its own MLS soccer. The news came in mid-February that retired European soccer star David Beckham was awarded his major-league franchise after a long four-year battle with local leaders for a possible site. Contact us for more information about RMG Staffing or hiring us for your next event in Miami, Fl! “It is with tremendous pride that we welcome Miami to Major League Soccer,” MLS Commissioner Don Garber said in a press release. “With David Beckham, Marcelo Claure, Jorge and José Mas, Masayoshi Son and Simon Fuller leading the way, we know the right people are in place and the time is right for Miami to become a great Major League Soccer city. This ownership is committed to bringing Miami the elite-level soccer team, stadium, and fan experience it richly deserves. We look forward to working with the entire organization on a strategic and successful launch for Miami’s MLS club.” Beckham and the group behind the team won approval to build a proposed 25,000-seat soccer stadium on the western edge of Overtown. Though their authorization has been granted, they still have some regulatory hurdles to overcome. These obstacles include land-use changes, rezoning, and the permanent closure of a road that has a busy intersection. Also, final approval depends on environmental review and a hearing conducted by board members of elected officials. This hearing is set to open to the public. Since the soccer stadium is being fully financed by private funds and won’t be backed by tax dollars, the public is very supportive of the stadium’s site. “Our pledge to our fans in Miami and around the world is simple: your team will always strive to make you proud on the pitch, our stadium will be a place that you cherish visiting, and our impact in the community and on South Florida’s youth will run deep,” David Beckham stated during the press conference that was held to announce the proposed stadium site. Beckham’s road to making MLS in Miami wasn’t easy. His original plan was to have a site next to Miami Heat’s American Airlines Arena. Due to the potential to have catastrophic effects on Downtown Miami’s traffic and the enclosure of a bay view, the plans were scrapped. Beckham and his group then sought a site next to the Miami Marlins’ stadium. Those plans were also scrapped due to the foreseen horror of too much traffic in the area. The proposed Overtown site for the stadium is less densely populated. “I love soccer,” head of Talent Acquisition for RMG Staffing Vanessa Yepes stated. “I grew up watching soccer so having our own team makes me so proud to live in South Florida.” So how will MLS impact us in Miami? The first thing it will do is boost our local sports scene. Miami has a large number of residents from Latin America who love soccer. Having a team of our own will allow us to combine the love we have for our community with the love we have for soccer. The second major impact MLS in Miami will have is the improvement of the local Overtown area. For decades, city leaders have been weighing options to how they can improve the Overtown area. The proposed site will bring jobs to the local community and bring other businesses such as restaurants and create a much-needed nightlife that will also benefit the new condo developments in the area. “Our pledge to our fans in Miami and around the world is simple: your team will always strive to make you proud on the pitch, our stadium will be a place that you cherish visiting, and our impact in the community and on South Florida’s youth will run deep,” Beckham went on to say at the news conference. Since the MLS site isn’t finalized, Beckham and his group have the option to continue to seek other locations in the city. Latest reports from the Miami Herald suggest the group is also looking into the Pepsi distribution center in Doral, the city golf course near Miami International Airport and land inside Hialeah Park and Casino. No matter what they group eventually decides, get ready Miami MLS is definitely coming to our wonderful city. For more details, visit MLS Soccer’s Website.

Your Commute Might Be Improving
We all can agree, the traffic in Miami is a total nightmare. No matter where you live, to get from point A to B usually takes a very long time and if you’re on the road during rush hour your chances in getting to where you need to go in a timely manner go from slim to none. Largely populated cities such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles have public transportation systems to help reduce the number of traffic pileups and Miami is one of the top five most populated cities in the country yet we are literally at the bottom when it comes to the efficiency of our public buses and trains. The outlook of South Florida’s public transportation system is so grim that city leaders have been scrambling to find solutions to alleviate commuters from future traffic nightmares. “As a person who commutes in and out of busy Brickell,” RMG Staffing President Ricardo Michelangeli expressed, “I experience bad traffic on a daily basis. Our local government needs to find both short and long-term solutions to Miami’s traffic problems. The longer it takes for employees to get to work the less productive and unhappy they will be at their jobs.” The Miami Herald recently published an article about Miami-Dade’s Mayor Carlos Gimenez traveling to China in search of a cheaper alternative to the Metrorail. Traveling with a group of 50-plus elected officials, county administrators, lobbyists, property developers, the 14-day trip itinerary will focus on a train factory in Zhuzhou, China, where the delegates will get a chance to observe the Chinese factory that is building “a ‘virtual train’ — it’s a rubber-wheeled vehicle (like a bus) that would be able to use autonomous steering to follow painted lines on regular highways alongside automobile traffic,” according to the Miami Herald. The Chinese company built the train in June of last year and Mayor Gimenez and his delegates will get a chance to see the train in action. Also on the itinerary is a stop in Hong Kong, where Mayor Gimenez and company with various other executives in the airline and film industry. Their trip to Japan includes a ride on a high-speed train. Other initiatives involving the private sectors include Brightline, the only privately funded express inter-city passenger rail service in the United States. The company will have two new trains that will provide service in South Florida later this year. The express inter-city passenger service will connect Downtown Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach, with connecting service to Orlando in the next phase. The Downtown Miami terminal is called “MiamiCentral,” and will incorporate retail and office space and will eventually come to include 800 rental units of residency that will open in 2019. The company is also completing a set of rental apartments on the site of their West Palm Beach location. Future plans also include residential apartments near their Ft. Lauderdale terminal. Tri-Rail, which is operated by South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, will continue to separately run its Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach rail line. A ticket on Brightline from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale will cost more than Tri-Rail but will be faster due to their direct destination. Joe Sous is a healthcare executive who works for Miami Jewish Health System in east Miami-Dade County. He lives in Boca Raton and his commute usually averages to 90 minutes each way on Tri-Rail. The new Brightline train will dramatically reduce the time it takes for him to complete a full commute. “It’s only 50 miles door to door, but it’s not the miles that matter, it’s the time,” Sous admitted to the Miami Herald. “How long does [the] commute take from point to point on the train versus by car? We will look at everything, but the Brightline is an enticement for those of us who like suburban areas, or want to live north.” The future of public transportation in South Florida will definitely improve but only time will tell to what degree those improvements will be made.
On the Scene with RMG Staffing: Pegasus World Cup Invitational 2018
South Florida is known for great beaches, wonderful restaurants, and pulsating nightlife. Now thanks to The Stronach Group, we are also being recognized for world-class horse racing. On Saturday January 27, Stronach Group held its second annual Pegasus World Cup Invitational horse race at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach. In front of an excited 10,000-plus record-breaking crowd, 12 horses and their jockeys competed for a $16 million prize. Fans, celebrities, politicians, Miami influencers were there to witness jockey Florent Geroux and his horse Gun Runner win the race in an amazing finish. “The crowd, the entertainment, the fans and of course, our human and equine athletes made this an electric day from early morning into the evening,” Gulfstream’s General Manager Bill Badgett stated in a press release. “The Stronach Group continues to revolutionize the experience of attending a thoroughbred race. We want to thank the wonderful fans and horsemen throughout the world. We feel the Pegasus World Cup Invitational will continue to grow, attract and engage even more of the world’s best horses.” Celebrities in attendance included super producer and former judge of NBC’s The Voice Pharrell Williams, rock star Lenny Kravitz, rappers Post Malone and Ludacris, actress Olivia Culpo, CBS’ NCIS actor Wilmer Valderrama and Latin superstar Prince Royce to name a few.

King of Miami nightlife David Grutman brought out the LIV Boardwalk Village Pop-Up. Porsche Ultimate featured their exclusive high-end sports cars. The glaring atmosphere was enough to make you think you were in an extravagant scene from Leonardo DiCaprio’s “The Great Gatsby” film. After the race, attendees were blessed with a performance by rapper/ singer Post Malone, hosted by Ludacris with spin doctor DJ Ruckus. “The 2018 Pegasus World Cup Invitational was everything we hoped for and more”, said Belinda Stronach, Chairman, and President, The Stronach Group. “It brought together an energetic and diverse crowd, that combined thousands of new fans with our traditional fan base for a day of world-class entertainment and Thoroughbred horse racing like no other.” Broadcasted live on NBC, The Pegasus World Cup Invitational is the richest horse race produced by The Stronach Group. They are one of the preeminent horse racetrack operators and suppliers of pari-mutuel wagering technology. In addition to their property at Gulfstream, the company operates various racetrack across America and is a leader in thoroughbred racehorse breeders, having produced numerous Triple Crown and Breeders’ Cup champions. We can’t wait for the return of Pegasus World Cup Invitational in 2019 at Gulfstream Park. RMG Staffing is an agency based at Miami, we staff all kind of events, contact us!

Held in Chicago, the event featured learning and networking opportunities for everyone that is involved in the staffing industry. The attendees included recruiters, to agency CEOs, marketing managers, PR personnel, industry reps, and those seeking jobs themselves. RMG Staffing was very proud to participate in this year’s event. “Very informative, engaging, and fun,” Aletha Mangelsdorf revealed about her previous experience attending the event. “The convention center was an excellent location.
