Event Planner Interview Question:

How do you keep up-to-date with event industry changes?

Submitted by: Administrator

Again, a question with no definitive right or wrong answer but one that gives the candidate the chance to show their personal interest and passion for the industry or to show that they have used their initiative when researching it as a career path. "I read Event, The Main Event and Stand Out magazines, have Google News alerts set up for 'event management' and 'event planning'" is the sort of answer that would suggest they are on the right track, while namedropping key industry bloggers, Linkedin groups and relevant influential Tweeters will give you even more cause for encouragement. Naming industry events, conferences and meet-ups they have been to or regularly attend, annual reports they keep an eye out for or active online communities with which they engage will show an even more proactive approach to staying on top of the industry.
