The Internship Placement Process

Hotel Management / Hospitality

 Hotel management and hospitality professionals are the key players behind a comfortable room and good food. There are many career opportunities within the industry. Convention managers arrange special events at a hotel or resort; food and beverage managers prepare menus and hire restaurant and service staff; and entertainment and Spa Managers who arrange luxury accommodations. A General Manager of a Hotel looks over all aspects and in addition setting room rates, controls the budget expenditures, and establishes standards for service to guests, decor, housekeeping, food quality, and banquet operations.

Testimonials

I have to admit that I surprised even myself in the business meetings. No one expected the high school intern to say anything, but I stepped up, spoke up, and shared ideas during the conferences. They even used a few of my ideas within their operations!

I am a people person and working at the front desk of a 5 star hotel could not have been more perfect for me. I got to relate and assist people all day every day. I really got to use my social skills and now feel confident about my future because of this!
- Zach
Being able to work in so many different departments in a hotel really opened my eyes to how many great opportunities there are out there. In the beginning I thought I’d either love it or hate it. It turns out that there is so much that I really enjoy about the hotel industry, and I happen to be good at a lot of it, too!
