Our Interns Don’t Fetch Coffee, But They Might Walk a Pig

Becoming a TCG Events Intern

Each semester we invite a new group of interns to join us at TCG Events. We go through numerous resumes and interviews before choosing two to three unique individuals to join our team.

We begin the process by scanning resumes for a couple of key elements. Are you a current student or looking to enter the job force to gain experience as a graduate? Do you have any event experience or skills that can relate to the production of events? Our key to successfully hiring interns is to immediately interview candidates whose resumes interest us.

Each interview begins with one very important question – what do you think about event planning? An answer of, “I think event planning is glamorous!” in any form, is the kiss of death for even a favored candidate. We simply dread this response because our job is far from glamorous and this unrealistic perception sets everyone up to be disappointed. We want to ensure the interns we choose are ready to become apart of our team – we are looking for hard work, determination, and creativity.

You will go through new and unique experiences, possibly even taking a pig on a walk. Seriously.

Being an intern at TCG will help you decide if this event planning career path is for you. It will become very apparent if this is what you want to do or if it’s just not your cup of tea. An internship can open doors to a career either within the company or connections you make along the way!
