You want a job in hospitality, but first you need to know what attributes will help you to gain this position, and some tips on what to do if you get this job. Here, we give you 5 important tips on working in the hospitality business within hotels. They are all important no matter which hotel you work in and where. Whether it is a huge, bustling city or accommodation in Inverell, big or small, each place requires the same level of attention and skill.
Customer Service with a Smile
The first thing to remember is that a smile comes for free. Also, customer service is free. A huge part of your job is to make guests feel welcome and comfortable so a smile and a friendly manner will go a long way. Be polite, be patient and be friendly and your guests will remember their stay with you fondly.
Discretion is Key
Not everyone who uses a hotel is on an innocent holiday that friends and family are aware of. People use hotels for all sorts of reasons and it is up to the staff to maintain an air of discretion around their guests stay. It could even be dangerous for some people if others find out where they are staying, such as the victims of domestic violence. Or on the other end of the scale, if a famous person checks in it is never ok for a hotel employee to boast about this person to their friends, or over social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
