In the event planning industry mine is when people tell me how glamorous it must be. Really? Now don\u2019t get me wrong, I love the industry. But I can tell you I didn\u2019t get into it because I thought it was glamorous. And here\u2019s a tip for those of you who are considering an event planning career because you think you\u2019ll be socializing and having a great time attending events, let me save you the time \u2013 don\u2019t bother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To some it may sound like I\u2019m crapping all over the industry, actually it\u2019s quite the opposite. Yes there are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210123132236\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/event-planning-jobs\/\">event planning jobs<\/a>&nbsp;that do take you to exotic locations. But again, you\u2019re not there to go sightseeing. You\u2019re there to work, and work damn hard. Many event planning companies look for individuals who can multitask and work well under pressure. Those individuals can be hard to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Soon_Find_out_If_Event_Planning_Is_in_Your_Blood\"><\/span>You Soon Find out If Event Planning Is in Your Blood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing the end results of event planning, the events in action, is just the tip of the iceberg. What people don\u2019t see is all of the planning that\u2019s involved before the event sees the light of day. And let me tell you, that planning is hard work. But if it\u2019s in your blood it\u2019s exciting work. Especially seeing the end results of all of your planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Signs_That_Will_Tell_You_If_Youre_Cut_out_for_Event_Planning\"><\/span>7 Signs That Will Tell You If You\u2019re Cut out for Event Planning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>without even looking you know how many lights are burnt out in a venue or restaurant&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>you have an uncontrollable urge to check the cleanliness of the washrooms<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>if you happen to make eye contact with other guests you ask them how things are going<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>you cringe when you hear a server telling guests \u201csorry we can\u2019t do that, it\u2019s not on the menu\u201d<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>you greet people as you enter or exit a restaurant<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>you can\u2019t stand it when the knife is facing the wrong way on a table<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>it drives you nuts when the server rests the wine bottle on the glass when pouring&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Youll_also_want_to_check_out_these_related_posts\"><\/span>You\u2019ll also want to check out these related posts:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210123132236\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/types-event-planning-jobs-part-1-planning-side\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Types of Event Planning Jobs-Part 1; the Planning Side<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210123132236\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/types-event-planning-jobs-part-2-operations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Types of Event Planning Jobs-Part 2; Operations<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_now_realize_that_because_Ive_been_in_the_event_planning_industry_for_so_long_that_I_can_never_be_a_customer_again_Oh_sure_I_love_going_to_different_events_and_trying_new_restaurants_But_Im_always_looking_around_and_checking_things_out_the_same_way_that_I_would_if_I_was_planning_an_event_Oh_well_its_in_my_blood_as_they_say\"><\/span>I now realize that because I\u2019ve been in the event planning industry for so long that I can never be a customer again.
