Shift to Event Management as a Career | Event Management Jobs
Monday, February 08, 2016
Are you looking to have a
fulfilling career? Do you want a job that will allow you to stretch your
abilities and expand your personal growth? If you are saying YES to these,
event management is for you.
Joining an event management
company is a life changing experience. For one, you will be required to work
with different kinds of people. This means your COMMUNICATION SKILLS will be enhanced.
Often times, successful event
management professionals are EXCELLENT
COMMUNICATORS.
Communication is the key to
make any projects or events successful. How to deal effectively with people
involves different ways of communication.
Besides communication, you
will be able to further improve your SOCIAL
SKILLS. Social skill is a precious skill that will enable you to have the
success you desire, most especially in the event management industry.
While you develop these two
skills, you are also developing your NEGOTIATION
SKILLS. If you will master the Art of Negotiation, your success is almost
guaranteed.
The Art of Negotiation makes
a lot of things possible and profitable. If you will learn how to negotiate with
your clients and suppliers you will be able to smoothly navigate your career in
the event management industry.
Another important skill that
you will acquire is SELLING. The
world is made up of selling. Every day you sell, you are not just conscious that
you are doing it.
In the event management
industry, you will be tasked to find clients or sell sponsorships.
According to Daniel Pink,
author of the famous book To Sell is
Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others, he said,
“A few of us are extraverts. A few of us are introverts. But
most of us are ambiverts, sitting near the middle, not the edges, happily
attuned to those around us. In some sense, we are born to sell.”
The beauty of selling is
within your fingertips should you decide to enter the event management
industry. Best of all, unlimited commissions and incentives are also waiting
for you, should you learn and excel in selling your events to potential sponsors
and exhibitors.
There will be a lot of skills
that you will acquire in entering the exciting world of event management, but LEADERSHIP is one of the best skills
that you will be able to develop in entering this exciting world.
LEADERSHIP is an art and a skill that you will be able to have when you give
your heart to the event management industry.
As you move the success
ladder of the event management industry, your leadership skill becomes better.
Imagine being able to
implement different types of events and projects because of your leadership, I
guarantee you that the fulfillment that you will derive from it is immense. In
fact, your ability to create and make things that satisfies others may be one of
the best gifts you can share to the society.
But there maybe one question
that you wanted to know before you make your shift to event management. The
question is does the pay good in the event management industry? The answer is a
resounding YES if you will work hard and become excellent in this field.
The wage may be equal to
other industries, but the commissions and incentives that you will get for
delivering results are way beyond the other industries. You can have an annual
commission of P100, 000.00 at the minimum, but then again, let me emphasize,
this is based on your capacity to perform and achieve the results expected.
In addition, you can travel
to different places because of your work, and experience the different hotels
and venues.
Are you now ready to shift?
I have no doubt that you are
ready to shift, but before you do that, let me remind you that the perks and
other good things about being part of the event management industry will always
entail that you work hard and smart. Before you shift, you must always put it
upon yourself that you will continuously improve and be better.
If you are nodding in
agreement, then by all means jump and experience the magical world of event
management.
