Two years into school and I am still trying to figure out exactly how I plan to jump into the hospitality industry.  All I know is that I want to work on events for children.  I work in sales so this is a career change for me.

Originally I thought I would start applying for jobs in the event planning business but I’ve noticed it can be very competitive in NYC.  This time I am thinking the best way to tackle is to target the hotel industry first.  This way I have access to banquets, which are just as challenging to handle.

I also think starting in a hotel will give me the opportunity to understand all of the departments and how they work together to pull off banquets.  I have not chosen a specific hotel yet but I intend to start my research shortly on this next step.

What’s your next step?
