How to Become an Event Planner
Secrets for Getting Hired
From Employers, Recruiters, and Event Professionals
Learn the right way to prepare for a career in event planning
with advice from the professionals
Most people trying to break into the events industry go about it in entirely the wrong way; you can't just take an event planning course, graduate, and start applying for entry-level positions.
