1. Hook (con’t)
Now I’d like you to consider how much planning and coordinating went into that one,
single night. So many people look forward to enjoying their engagements, but find
themselves bogged down by the amount of work that goes into putting it together.

That’s where I come in. My name is Julie Carlson, my company is Our Love Story, and I would
like to coordinate your wedding for you.
5. Weddings represent LOVE

I have always enjoyed creating beautiful things, and to me, weddings are the most beautiful
of all. Not only are they physically beautiful, but they are also emotionally beautiful. A
wedding means that two people are joining together to celebrate the love each has for the
other, and committing to a lifetime together.
6. Weddings can be nervewracking

I love to help people, and sometimes as a wedding coordinator, you also become a social
worker. I can be a strong backbone for an apprehensive bride, or the voice of reason for a
panicked mother-in-law to be.
7. LOVE above all else

9. Supportive of friends and family
Saturday, December 13, 14
I have learned to be a supportive, helpful, and strong force of love in my friend’s and family’s
lives.

Organized (con’t)
Now, as an adult, I have a job where I am responsible for making sure everyone in the
company is always on track and privy to new information.
14. I possess exceptional communication skills

Communication: Good communication, both written and verbal, is crucial in this field. I have
to communicate with many different vendors at the same time, negotiate contracts, and
consistently update the bride and groom with any information they request. If there is a
change of plans, it is my job to make sure everyone has received (and understands!) the new
information or schedule.
15. I function well under stress

Stress Management
I have the ability to function extremely well under stress. If there is a room full of people
losing their heads, it becomes my personal mission to change the tone of the room and calm
everyone down so we are all able to think clearly.

Saturday, December 13, 14
Being an actress has helped me immensely in terms of being outgoing and being comfortable
presenting and speaking to groups of people

Relevant work sample: graphic design pitch presentation. The name of my company has since
changed, but the work is still a solid example of my design skills.
33. Communication Skills

1. Closing
The body of work I have accumulated has all helped me accomplish one very important
thing: communication skills.
34. Works well with others
Saturday, December 13, 14
In every new job or project, I have been faced with the task of learning to communicate well
with someone new. I have learned how to read social cues very well, and I can quickly
determine the best way to communicate with many different people.
35. Outgoing, Approachable, and Fun
Saturday, December 13, 14
My outgoing personality makes me approachable. People can tell within the first few seconds
of meeting me that I am smart, fun, and will be easy to work with.
