EVENT PLANNER JOBS
Nowadays, there are more parties and events than ever before. They can
be big or intimate, happy or solemn, and for business or pleasure. In
addition, whether the events are planned or last minute, entertaining
has become a feature of contemporary life. What's more, guests expect
parties to be more polished and exciting. Some people host parties because
they need to - to mark life transitions, or because they must entertain
clients or bosses, and to meet social obligations. Others give parties
to celebrate important rites of passage. Some have parties just for the
sheer joy of it. There are the domestic events, such as surprise birthday
parties and children's parties. Not to mention the milestones: christenings,
weddings, and baby showers. Plus, people gather for anniversary parties,
graduation parties, and even memorial services. These are all events in
need of planning.
Being Your Own Boss
Being an event planner is hard work. There are real skills to learn, if
you want to be a professional. It will take time to get known and find clients.
However, if you're determined to succeed, there are so many advantages.
You get to be your own boss. No one is looking over your shoulder. No one
can tell you what to do. You work only the hours you need to. Moreover,
it's certainly not a boring 9-5! You can fit the work around your other
commitments. Therefore, you can pick up your children from school, or spend
time with your spouse. You can care for an elderly relative. Alternatively,
just relax. It's your business, so you keep the profits. The more you work,
the more you earn. You're not watching the clock, and you're not working
endlessly dull hours to earn money for bosses who may not even value you.
Event planning is very flexible. In addition, unlike most businesses, there
are very few set-up costs. All you need is a phone and a list of contacts
- plus your own talent, enthusiasm and the knowledge that we'll teach you.
