Editor's Notes
Little bit about what an event coordinator does: Try new design trends and explore venues Supervise event staff, Prepare event budget 1Need an event, need clients Once you have clients you go off there needs! What skills are needed, Say it’s a wedding.. Are you needing someone to stay wiith the bride to keep her company, or are you needing someone to run and get supplies such as flowers? Budget is set by client.. Does it allow for extra help, paid help? Or do you need to use volunteers? Once The need is found, the skills are set, and you have a budget to go off of then you can start recruiting employees.
Meet with Client to get to know their personality Within this meeting you are going to get to know there personality and there styles, Try to get employees to will easily fit. Example if your bride is someone who is easliy flustered you will need a calm individual to help calm the situation. Descide on the event size and whether or not you need one to 3 helpers for the event 3. Personality, personality! This is the point where the job description comes together, make sure if you need an organized individual you state that.
Skill- Once you have a job description you can add in the skills. If you arent as familiar with weddings, you might hire someone in with execptional wedding resume. Budget- Now that you have your need, and skill lever you can fit alter it to fit your budget. The employees you choose must fot within the budget.
