Event Manager

“I don’t like it, but I don’t know why.”

“It’s not bad but it’s just not ‘there’ yet”

“So when do you need this? Yesterday. HAHA.”

“Can you give us a few more ideas, but we have no money to spend”

#TrueStory #JustAnotherClientMeeting

Can you keep a straight face, grit your teeth and smile through these? Now try following that up with a quick, somewhat logical and pleasant response. Sputtering and forehead slapping do not count as appropriate responses.

“I know you said long hours, but I didn’t know you meant 24 hours.”

“The concept just doesn't have enough legs”

“I only have $XXX, go and talk to him and make it fit in the budget.”

“I found it on the internet, go and find where we can buy it locally.”

#JustAnotherDayAtTheOffice

Think it gets easier at the office? Think again. Between coming up with big ideas, answering client calls and calling vendors, you need to make sure nothing slips through the cracks and that everything is delivered on time.

To survive you need to be a go-getter, independent, resourceful, able to multi-task and have a truckload of that uncommon common sense. Not forgetting a sparkling personality and great interpersonal skills.

So consider yourself duly warned, but if you insist, APPLY now with your resume and a convincing reason for us to take time out to meet you.
