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.

"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."

The first rule is I wear comfortable shoes. I also like to create three different timelines for my events: pre-production, day of the event(s), and post-production. As the timeline progresses, I identify what can be done immediately and what actions might be pertinent to the success of the task.

You are very organized - good for you! And yes, comfortable shoes would be a must-have. The idea of having three timelines shows that you are smart and prepared - ready to tackle the moment and what lies ahead.

For me, multi-task has used this skill regularly at work. Normally, I talk with 4/5 clients at the same time. After clients pay, I build up the folder for each client and have checklists as well. I create a timeline for each of my clients, setting deadlines for different tasks that need to be completed by each day. The first thing I do every day is to check what I need to do for today. I like to plan each day to make life easier for me and my clients.
