VIPs are multi-faceted and not one size fits all. If you work around VIPs or have VIPs at your events, you should be thinking in advance what VIPs need and want at an event and their common behaviours, habits and issues. This kind of preparation is the first thing you should do when you know you're going onsite to work face to face with VIPs. It makes their experience better and it makes yours better. Be proactive instead of reactive. Don't spend all your time fighting fires. Getting into their mindset leads to likeability and trustworthiness so then you get asked back to that event and you start getting referred for more.

Today, I'm talking to the event pros who want to work at iconic events but can't figure out how to get involved and don't know where to start. Sometimes the path to these roles aren't clear and obvious. You can't figure out if there's an application with the event organiser or if you should contact an event agency. But sometimes you can make your own path. There are a lot of people out there who want to work at iconic events, many who don't work in events as a career and do it for fun or extra money. So what do you do? How do you stand out? Here are three unconventional ways to get a job at a VIP event that maybe you have not tried before.

Protocol is what allows events to run smoothly, allows the right people to meet each other, and allows everyone to be on the same page.
