Event Planner Interview Question:

What tools do you use to source and record venues?

Submitted by: Administrator

'Perform a Google search' is the answer to so many 'how do you find' questions these days, but in this particular case you're looking for that little bit more. References to respected industry publications such as Event magazine's online directory and annual venue awards would show a willingness to keep up to date with venue developments, while they should be able to name other specific websites, directories and venue finders that they use.

An efficient event planner should also be keeping their own records of venues and their own professional experiences with them, including positives and negatives and any notes that may help inform their decisions for future events. Whether it's CRM software or their own personalised spreadsheet, the important thing is demonstrating an effective and efficient way of keeping track of their venues and showing an understanding of why this sort of record-keeping is important.
