Top Floor, Please

This article is about a lady name Debbie Grant. She is a manager for a four star hotel. She started off at a community college but she felt it wasn’t for her. So, she decided to drop out of the community college. She didn’t know what to do, her friend told her about a job opening at a hotel. She was interested in the job so she visited the hotel. The director of the hotel told her that the job will contain booking meetings and banquets. She told herself she couldn’t do it, but the director liked her personality and her enthusiasm. The director told her that she could do it. She got the job and in March 2008 she got promoted as a regional director of sales and marketing. She became all this without a college degree.

Hotels employment is expected to go up by 13.9 percent from 2006 to 2016. More hotels are being built and therefore more jobs will be open. Hotel’s hire a lot of young and first time workers who works part time. There are many jobs you could work as at hotels. Debbie Grant suggest that first time workers should start at the front desk, because there are more opportunities for positions in that area. When you do your best at hotels they award you or recognize you someway. Hotels are open everyday/ every night and don’t close. So you could work night times holiday’s or even weekends. That is what this article is mostly about.
