Are you interested in events management? This can be in a wide range of areas - corporate hospitality, sporting events, conferences, trade fairs, festivals, weddings and more. It’s not a 9-5 job; particularly leading up to an event and the people who are successful in this type of work are people who will put in the necessary time.

As an events manager you will take over a project once the sales team have confirmed the booking. You need to have good project management and organisational skills and also the ability to get on well with the client. You need to communicate well, and be able to multi task. Attention to detail is also important, as is the ability to quickly solve problems when things go wrong.  

If you are thinking of this as a career after university, use the time now to pick up relevant experience.  For example helping to organise a college ball, but work as a bartender or waiting at table also provides useful customer service skills.
