Wondering why you didn’t get a reply to that resume you sent out?
Most people trying to break into the events industry go about it in entirely the wrong way; you can't just take a course, graduate, and start applying for entry-level positions. Unlike most professions, a career in event planning does not require qualifications. Employers are looking for people with the right skills, personal qualities, and—above all else—experience. In this industry, getting hired doesn’t involve blindly sending out resumes to get experience; it's all about networking, contacts, and relationships.

- Why you don’t need qualifications or certifications to become an event planner
- How to decide if taking an event-planning course is right for you
- How to differentiate between credible and less trustworthy event-planning courses
- How to choose the most relevant event-planning course and how long to study for
- How to network, make contacts, and develop relationships in the events industry
- The specific skills and qualities that employers are looking for you to demonstrate

- How to get that experience when starting from scratch
- How to present that experience on your resume in the right way
- How to approach and get noticed by employers
- What to say and do in interviews—and what not to
