Bacon and Biscoff Cocktails? 🤤 Absolutely, they exist. Absolutely, they’re delicious. Absolutely, you *could* combine both in one cocktail, but we’d probably advise against it..

The secret to success in events? Be kind, be patient, be passionate. We loved the takeaway from Katie Bowyer from YES Events during our latest One Amazing Experience newsletter interview. What characteristic would you add? #Events #Hospitality #EventsProfs

How do we ensure our teams turn up on time, every shift, in perfect uniform and grooming? If we're being honest, event after 25 years in the game there will always be mishaps. That's why being on site to greet our teams is a vital part of our process. Sign-ins are an opportunity to: • Perfect any grooming and uniform issues • Address any lateness promptly to minimise disruption • Connect with our team face-to-face So if there's one piece of advice we could give to our peers who want to really nail staffing: Show up, be present, and engage with your teams 👐 #eventstaffing #enablingamazingexperiences #eventprofs #hospitality

To get better at planning and running events, you need to develop your active listening skills. That's one of the many takeaways from our recent chat with Katie Bowyer from YES Events who joined our marketing manager Joel to talk about: - Building a career in events - Balancing creativity with practicality - The key skills Katie looks for when building an event team Working with multiple clients on a range of complex events each year, Katie believes that active listening is a huge part of the job, as it ensures she provides a bespoke experience for clients rather than assuming what they want for their event. And yes, we talked about AI and its impact on the industry 🤖🤖 However, for us, a theme we noticed throughout the chat is the importance of human connection and building strong partnerships in your network. You can watch the full interview in our latest newsletter, along with… - An easy way to organise your job search - How to create inclusive stays during Pride month (and beyond) - The most creative event of the year? #hospitality #events #eventprofs #eventindustry #eventmanager

We speak to thousands of people looking for work each year. Here's one simple tip for making your job search less overwhelming: Stop relying on searching through your inbox to find details of that job you applied for 👎 Instead, create a repeatable process for tracking your job applications ✅ How? A Kanban board can be a great way of visually tracking where you're at with your different job applications. This can be a simple as post-it notes on a wall or in a notebook. Move each post-it through different stages of the recruitment process as you advance. Prefer digital? There are plenty of free apps available to build your own digital Kanban board. ✅ Easy to implement ✍📱 Can be as simple or detailed as you need 😨 Avoid the panic when you're called by a company and can't remember applying What's your top job application hack? #jobsearch #recruiters #opentowork
