Describe a time when you had to solve an unexpected problem during an event.
Event managers often have to solve problems quickly and efficiently. This question can help interviewers understand how you handle unexpected situations during an event. Use your answer to highlight your problem-solving skills, communication abilities and time management skills.
Example Answer : At a recent event, the venue lost power for about 30 minutes. I immediately went into action by contacting the client to let them know what was happening. Then, I gathered my team members to discuss our options. We decided that we would continue with the event as planned but move some of the activities inside. The guests were understanding when we explained the situation, and we managed to complete the event without any further issues.
