JOB CAREER

From young i wanted to be part of the army as i thought it was the most honourable repectful and a job that a man should be proud to be in.But evetually as i grew up ,i realised that it was really a very tough life ou there in the army it was not just about physical tarining it was more of mental torture.MY parents discouraged and disallowed me to join the army as they were afraid that i wont be able to take the strenous training.Being and young adult now,i guess i get to make a few decisions on my own now i guess.And my choice of career is events manager.



Why events manager?In the job which I have chosen, the responsibilities of an event manager is to first design the basic framework. After which he prepares the marketing plans, hunts for sponsors, works on the logistics, locates the site/destination, contacts vendors, hires performers, prints/mails invitation cards, and creates menus. Events Manager also looks after the stage/lights, books the artistes, arranges for transport for different people and on the D' Day co-ordinates, plans and finalizes every aspect of the event. Event managers usually start working months before the event. Sometimes, in order to make the work easier, large event management companies hire the services of smaller companies on a contract basis to make it a multidimensional event whereby different ideas can be thrown in and molded into a more explicit idea.

On top of the educational requirements, the events manger must be able to do Analytical/Critical thinking and problem solving Client/Customer service orientation.
Good negotiation skills. Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines. Teamwork, facilitation and co-operation planning.Co-ordination and organization Good networking skills.

Speaking of future career prospects, as for me, the chances of me getting into this profession is relevantly high .This is because the basic qualifications for this job is not that difficult , since it has the same educational requirements as most courses in Polytechnics request. But it is a host of other qualities, which are essential for a person to be well-equipped in this field.

After deep thinking I realized that to achieve what I want I have to begin now. I have no time to waste or procrastinate any further. I have to put in consistent effort and reach my target. I have to do well in my O levels and proceed on to poly.The world is now full of challenges with different people with unique talents and I have to pocess an outstanding talent, to be recognized, to impress the people with my talents. I have been doing research on this job and finding out more from people about this course and I have to prepare myself to face the challenges and obstacles that are coming in my way.
