Events coordinator info/details for job?

Thanks debbiecat! Well, I am applying for an events coordinator post at a major art gallery in london. I would like some information for this type of job and what it usually entails. Also, what do you think are the main skills you need, what is the 'must have' in terms of attitude.


To clarify I am applying for this job but its most likely that I'll get an interview since I already work there in another department.


So I would appreciate advice for a cover letter and the interview.


Thanks in advance!


Drinks to come if I get the job!

I'm not sure what your current job or experience is so its difficult. You will be required to be hyper-organised and possess excellent networking skills. You should be able to cultivate relationships with suppliers and be able to 'think outside the box'. You will need a calm head in a crisis (and trust me - there will be many crisis!)





You must be prepared to roll up your sleeves and make canapes at the last minute or entertain the Chairman of an international conglomerate on your own.





So all in all - you've got to be a high-energy all rounder, with real 'officer quality' and organisation skills.

Please find attached my CV for your perusal.





I look forward to hearing from you

Something like that?
Reply:Ok, you will need to be flexible, completely unflappable and able to work under pressure. You will require excellent communication skills as you will be the liaison between a number of different parties, especially at an art gallery. You will also need to be prepared to work unsocial hours. Good luck!
