Hospitality careers advice: Don't cut corners
I would say that you have to work very, very hard, and very diligently. You have to do every step of the way, do not miss out any position. These day’s people are too interested in becoming a manager before; they want to run before they can walk. I think it is very important to earn your stripes, to work hard, so that when you’re at that certain level you understand more. You have a maturity to be able to deal with things and you understand what service is about. So you can deal with it, you can still get frustrated but you can deal with it better than somebody who hasn’t got a clue. Hotels is like a family it’s like your own house you really do need to know and understand every aspect. You don’t have to necessarily worked in each area, but you have to understand there are different departments that all have to gel and work together. So it is very much a team effort. We all understand the expression, there’s no I in team. There isn’t. And you have to understand that you are only as good as your colleagues around you in various departments to be able to come together and create and impression, a product, for the client to be able to book.
