Become an event coordinator.
An event coordinator puts together events, from the idea for the event to the full execution of the event, including planning, scheduling and guest lists. Coordinators may work such events as weddings, concerts or industry trade shows. There is no specific educational or professional route that is required for a career as an event coordinator.
Instructions
1. Obtain a bachelor's degree in a related field, such as entertainment management, marketing, communications or public relations.
2. Look for an internship with an organization that frequently offers events, such as a convention center, or volunteer with a nonprofit organization that holds fund-raising events.
3. Apply for entry-level positions in organizations that are involved with event planning.
4. Continue looking for ways to gain experience, such as volunteering to work with charity events. And look for opportunities to take on more responsibility with your employer.
5. Advance internally to positions of more responsibility, or apply to higher-level jobs working with the specific type of events that you wish to coordinate. You also can start your own event coordination business.
