Question 7 of 25

What was the most difficult event you promoted? What made it difficult?

"Organizing an event to promote local restaurants recently was the most difficult because there were so many different people that needed to be coordinated and managed. Anticipating miscommunications and last-minute hiccups allowed me to prevent those issues from arising. Sometimes they are unavoidable, and in those cases, you must have a backup plan. Everything worked out seamlessly because I was calm and prepared."

      "The most difficult event I promoted was a reception for our new Sales New Hire onboarding program. This was difficult to promote because the event itself was created with three days of notice, and attendance was limited to new hires, managers, and directors.

      If I were to re-do this, I would have given more notice to participants so that they could prioritize their attendance. I'd also open up attendance to all roles so that new hires could network with employees across the board."

      Three days is certainly not a lot of time to pull an event together! Despite the challenges, were you able to pull off the event? Your suggestions for improvement are smart - good job!
