11. How do you multitask when you plan or manage multiple events?
How to Answer
Discussing your planning process and how you divide your time and attention. If possible, use real experiences to detail how you plan multiple events at once. Stay humble in your answer, which will show a level of confidence you have in yourself to the interviewer that multitasking is just any other ordinary day in the life of an event planner.
Answer Example
"I create a timeline for each of my projects, setting deadlines for different tasks that need to be completed as the event approaches. I am cautious not to take on multiple events that take place on the same weekend unless I can share some of the responsibilities with an assistant. Many events require the same types of vendors, so on a day when I need to schedule catering for a wedding, I'll schedule the catering for the corporate event that day as well. I like to plan each facet of an event strategically to make life easier on me, my clients, and my team."
