Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Teamwork makes the dream work. Hospitality teaches the importance of team work.  Not many cafes and restaurants have single- person teams so you have to learn how to work with others and the importance of team work and conflict resolution. In hospitality, you interact with people from all walks of life. This opens your mind to other cultures and ideas and teaches the values of tolerance and respect. You’re not stuck in a cubicle all day. Hospitality offers a job that changes all the time. It is a fast-paced environment where you are doing varied tasks each day. You are on your feet and moving around a lot which helps you think, feel, and react better. There are many and varied job roles available in hospitality. Waiters and baristas often come to mind when one mentions a career in hospitality. In truth, the hospitality industry is one of the largest sectors in the modern world, with enough variety in job roles for any kind of person, from the creative person to the corporate-minded. See the world. Many young people take time off after high school to travel and see the world. Hospitality is the best way to fund such travels.  You can pick up a job anywhere around the world.  The more qualified you are, the more experienced you are, the easier it will be to find a great hospitality job that will take you to your next destination. Trainees who have completed hospitality course have told us about the amazing places their hospitality skills have taken them. When you start your first job at a coffee shop, café, takeaway shop or family restaurant you don’t realize the opportunities that lie ahead.  You can’t imagine all the job opportunities that are available once you have a basis in hospitality. It is in demand and stable. The demand for hospitality jobs will never run out as long as there are people and food. This makes hospitality one of the most stable industries today. It also makes hospitality one of the most ideal providers of lasting and solid careers.
  2. .       Dynamic role changes in Hospitality business  - This section would talk about how your hobbies can be converted into lucrative skills and bring the uniqueness in your profile 2.       How to identify and cultivate your skills – This section would talk about explaining how to learn and upskill yourself 3.       Inspiring Resumes to set yourself as exclusive in the markets – This section would give list of things to keep in mind while preparing resume 4.       Platforms for Branding – This section would explain the different platforms that are used in professional world - LinkedIn, Blogs, Forums
  3. Whether you should include your hobbies in the fresher resume is an ongoing debate. If you necessarily have to avoid mentioning absolute random things like ‘watching TV’, ‘browsing the internet’ and ‘playing sports’. Your hobbies must be aligned with the job you’re applying for. For a creative writing role, you must mention ‘reading book/blogs’ as a hobby instead of ‘dancing’.  Be precise and relevant throughout the resume to create an effective impact on the reader.
  4. Today, LinkedIn is the most important social network for making that brand clear: If recruiters don’t find you on LinkedIn, you may be virtually invisible to them. If you have a minimal, mediocre presence on LinkedIn, they’re going to wonder whether you know how to navigate the new world of work, which includes being social media savvy. If you have a strong and active presence on LinkedIn, and your personal brand is evident, you’ve probably upped your chances of being a candidate of interest.
  5. Tell your personal brand story. Generate chemistry! Skills & Endorsements section. Most people know enough to put at least some information in the About (formerly the Summary), Experience and Education sections. But take a look at all the other sections available to you, and use each one you can. Many people don’t know about, or neglect these sections:
  6. Build your connections to at least 500, to boost your LinkedIn search ranking.
