There are many different functions within a Hotel. As this essentially takes care of all the needs a guest might have in one place; various skills are needed to do so. From working in the kitchen as cooks, chefs, waiters, servers, or washers; to being on the housekeeping staff as cleaners, or supervisors; everyone adds to making a Hotel experience great and relaxing for guests.
From the front door, to the front desk, the room, the restaurant or even by the pool; service must always be impeccable. Even when staff has to work late or long hours; they must maintain courtesy, flexibility and warmth to guests. The salary and benefits are good and also the opportunity for job promotion.

• Greeting and taking care of guests
• Taking messages and distributing mail
• Training and mentoring staff
• Cleaning rooms and emptying trash
