Event coordinator is a job to plan and organise specific events, such as parties, wedding receptions, new product launches, banquets, conference, meeting etc. As a career, event coordinator is a relatively new career field. Basically, there is no official certification or degree required for this field. Eventhough there are several training might be available which designed to help event coordinator to learn how to handle all the pressure and work efficiently since this career deals with a lot of communication and organization aspects. For example, they must plan the event from the scratch, they have to think about the theme, budget, dates, location, etc and they have to match all the plan with their clients.
If you have succeeded on organizing such events, especially big events, you should put the most important one in your cover letter when you decide to find a new job in other company to attract the HR Manager in that company to read your resume and give you a chance for an interview.
