Hospitality careers are hard work but as
Mohammed Al Nashwan discusses in this TV show, they are worth pursuing.
Hospitality career is worthwhile
Working in hospitality is not a job, I’ve learned that early, it’s a lifestyle.
You need to be positive, you need to feel good about meeting new people.
And you need to be open, to understand other cultures.
What means positive in certain culture could be offending to other people, so you need to be open.
At the same time it’s a very presence career, I always say we are only second to the movie industry, because in the movie you meet celebrities but in the hospitality you also meet lots of people, you get to travel, you are a global citizen, you travel anywhere and you meet people and it’s about being mobile.
Because in hospitality if you stay at one property for over five years then you are limiting your chances.
So this is something, if you have the stamina to travel, meet people, and always put an authentic and genuine smile, no matter how things are at home or you know.
I think this career could be very, very rewarding. The beginnings are hard in hospitality, it’s not easy, it’s rough to start, but once you are in management the rewards are really worth it, worthwhile the effort you put at your 20 years old.
