Hi, I'll be going off to university this year into the college of liberal arts and sciences, and being an event coordinator is something that I have recently become interested in. The job seems really interesting and all, but I don't know what sort of degree to pursue in order to become one. In general, I really don't know how to become one at all, despite looking online for answers. What steps are necessary to take in order to get into a career of being an event coordinator? Thank you Yeah so far I've been admitted into my university's psychology program, so that could be of use too, right?

I applied for an events coordinator position with the tourism office in my city and made it to the second round of interviews. I was not offered the position, but that did not turn me off of still wanting to work within the company. They just posted another position that I feel like I would like to do. How should I address the situation in my cover letter. Should I just apply and not make a mention of it or should I address it like I was disappointed but not deterred from seeking a position within the company.
