I am applying for a Special Events position at my work. I have been with the company for two years and have since been promoted once. I am going to school for Hospitality and Tourism but I hope to work in a casino doing special events. I think that this could give me some experience for the long road in front of me. PLEASEE help. What do i say at the interview, what do I write on the application?
Well, good job on your initiative, however, it’s a little puzzling that you have worked for this company for two years and it seems, from your question, that absolutely no one know you or what your capable of. I’d stress these points:
1) You’ve been there two years and have been promoted.
2) You are already going to school for Hospitality and Tourism (Texas A&M, Clemson are the best for that, so I hope it’s one of those!)
3) This position more aligns with your future hopes, dreams and aspirations both personally and professionally.
4) DO YOUR HOMEWORK – make sure you are prepared on what the company has done and ask questions about the direction of the company for the future. It will show the interviewer that you’re interested and you sincerely hope to contribute to that direction.
Good luck!
