Well another day’s work….and what a day.
At the moment I am really “frustrated “about how the industry is seen by all. Could someone tell me why do some people think that catering/hospitality jobs are “easy” work?
I got someone came to the hotel today, looking for a job, she was only 18, she gave me her application saying that she starts university soon and she needs money, fair enough but then she tells me that this was the reason she’s looking for a job in hotels, as catering, waitress's etc.. was easy jobs and anyone could do it.
I just stand there looking at her and thinking, “WHAT???” Oh I was so annoyed;
This industry needs some changes, but the biggest change would be the way people see catering and catering jobs. And sometimes even the people in the industry, think that running a hotel, a kitchen etc… is easy.
The way I see it is, nowadays, nobody would be a hairdresser without a qualification, and all they have to do is to cut someones hair, is really rare that they would, while cutting their hair, physically hurt a client, but some places have chef’s without qualifications, or a couple buy a hotel, or restaurant and usually the husband becomes the “chef”, without, sometimes having a clue about what they are doing.
Do people realize that THEY COULD KILL SOMEONE?
