New specialist corporate event agency website launched

MANCHESTER, U.K. - Jan. 8, 2016 - PRLog -- However, Maykit Events have decided to take a slightly different approach with regards to the services offered. Managing Partner Ed Moss explains:

“I’ve been to many specialist MICE exhibitions over the years, as well as attending educational and familiarisation trips abroad. So with Maykit Events, I have taken the conscious decision to concentrate on those destinations I’ve have actually been to myself. “

“As an example, we recently visited Krabi in Thailand and the Convention Centre and Traders Hotel in Kuala Lumpar at the request of a potential client. I also went on a bespoke familiarisation trip to Athens in December 2015 and have just returned from a “Great Hotels of the World” educational event in Lisbon.

“It makes great sense to me to offer clients destinations that I am personally familiar with and can recommend from first-hand experience. I think it is unfair to suggest perhaps a city such as Buenos Aires, which although a fantastic destination, is impossible to truthfully recommend to clients when I’ve never been there myself, especially when I’d have to rely totally on third parties I have never met!”

As for going solo after many years working for others, he explains:

“I’ve reached the age where attending job interviews for positions has become a complete waste of time and energy. Being, as I am, a little ‘more senior’, when I walk into the room for a job interview, I can’t help but notice the body language and rolling eyes of so-called HR experts who are only in their mid-twenties and just out of university. The really ironic thing is that I was communications manager for the Department of Work and Pensions’ highly-respected Age Positive initiative a few years ago!

“However, the straw that broke the camel’s back was when attending an interview for an incentive and events manager position a few months I was rather stupidly asked what my A-Level results were. Having a Masters’ Degree, which is clearly stated on my CV, I feel my school results from over 40 years ago are now quite irrelevant.

“However, if the HR and job interview industry still thinks 40-year-old school results are indeed relevant, then I feel it is now time for me to give up attending these interviews altogether. I also become rather annoyed when so-called HR experts don’t even have the courtesy to follow-up with a simple ‘thank you but no thanks’ afterwards, especially after I go to the trouble and expense of attending their interviews in the first place.

“Imagine eating at a restaurant where the staff neither thank you for choosing their establishment nor acknowledge you afterwards for paying the bill!”
