Every aspirant dreams of working with top event management companies in India. For them, it is a world of excitement, adventure and meeting new people every day. However, there are some hidden secrets which are bitter and harsh. Before you start your career in this field, let’s get you familiar with some realities:
There is hardly any playtime
When you have a fix 9-5 job, you know that you can spend time with your friends and family in the evening after winding up your work. You have a scheduled time to come to and go from office. However, when it comes to event planners, there is no fixed time. The work is in full swing 24*7. They have to be on their toes day and night with no time to relax or have fun. As an event planner in Jaipur, I have experienced a time when I have managed two events at a time and have to rush to another one right after completing the previous event.
It’s not about what you like
You may have a bag full of unique and creative ideas to organize events. You may think that each of your ideas is going to set a new trend and will earn appreciation from your clients and bosses. But you may have to keep your choices aside if it clashes with your clients’ or boss’. You have to work according to their directions and specifications even if you think otherwise. Moreover, there will be a time when you might not even get credit for your excellent job and have to take backstage.
Your phone can beep anytime
You are back from organizing a successful event. You have worked on it for months, compromising on your sleep, meals and everything. Now, all you need is a well-deserved break where you can sleep for hours and relax on your couch. However, as you are about to get lost in your world of dreams, your phone rings and you have to be at another event or meeting to talk about upcoming shows. There is no way out but to answer to that call and be at the service of your client.
You can’t share unpleasant experiences
There are several event planning companies in India that work with celebrities and famous personalities. Every aspirant dreams to work with that company as they get to meet their favourite stars and celebrities. Working with popular people is no less than a dream and who doesn’t want to live that? However, it is more than your eyes could see. There are times when you have to face some unpleasant experiences with these famous people and you can’t even share it with anyone as you are bound by contract and also you have to take care of your and your client’s reputation.
Getting cranky is common
When you are managing a plethora of tasks and events simultaneously along with a team of 50-60 members and numerous vendors, you tend to get cranky at times. You feel irritated and confused but have to wear a smile in front of your clients. Even after listening to rude comments and complaints from your clients, you cannot answer back and have to act as if nothing has happened. As an event planner in Jaipur with years of experience, I have a suggestion for you: that smile will take you a long way.
