Event Planning Jobs…Interview Don’ts!

Really, who out there gets excited at the thought of another round of pounding the pavement and looking for a new job? That’s exactly what I thought, not so many hands are raised!

There are lots of informative blogs out there (including ours, of course) that provide countless scenarios regarding event planning jobs. There are various different and adaptable positions in the conference, meeting and event planning industry. The usual suspects are out there as well as some of the more unique jobs and opportunities.

But with any job interview, you have to sell yourself, your capabilities and why you are the best candidate for the job. It doesn’t matter what age or stage in life you’re at, whether 25 or 45, job interviews can be incredibly intimidating. There is definitely a standard we all strive to reach. Right?! We have to look a certain way, talk a certain way and be able to fearlessly put ourselves out there.

When interviewing for event planning jobs, there are lots of dos but there are so many more don’ts. In the video below we get a glimpse, and a chuckle or two, at some of the dubious don’ts.
