Event Planner: your own boss and organizer for others
Are you the one who loves arranging parties for friends and relatives? Do you think it is
fun and sheer enjoyment? Do you have an eye for detail and basic organizing skills? Then there is an event planner sleeping in you.
To put it simple, an event planner is a person, who organizes various events. There are all kinds of events to be arranged and taken care of. They can be big and national, including festivals, fairs and exhibitions (Mardi Gras, New Year’s celebrations, etc) or they can be smaller and private. The second group refers to corporate parties, anniversary ceremonies, graduations, birthdays, baby showers, cocktail parties, sit-down dinners, etc, etc.
We live in an era of parties and celebrations and people like to mark their rites of passage and celebrate the joy of life. So event planners are in great demand today. How to become a professional event planner?
Well, you would find it hard to get an assistant job to learn the trade, because basically event planners are very much sensitive to competition like any freelancers. For this purpose, you can enroll for a home-study event planning course, like the one offered by the Institute of Event Planning at http://www.inst.org/event/index.htm. It is a distance learning course, so you will not have to travel for your studies.
One of the advantages of the event planning job is that you are your own boss and you are out of box of a 9-to-5 job. And! Your job is to go to the parties; you might have a chance to meet celebrities and beautiful people face to face! You will go places, visit swanky restaurants and hotels and meet a lot of various mostly happy people. You can dedicate as much time to this job as you want. It can go full-time or you can choose to arrange a couple of parties a week. As with any other freelance business, it is all in your own hands.
