The skills that I acquired by working in the service industry, are skills that I use every single day in my professional life. Every. Single. Day. My ability to speak with people in a way that establishes rapport and builds relationships? Born from my bartending days, where the longer someone sat and chatted, the better your sales would be AND the more likely you'd be to gain a new regular. My tendency to stay organized in/around chaos?? Established by working special events and serving large parties where it was imperative to get everyone's order correct, and delivered in a timely manner. My strong eye for detail??? A direct result of working in fine dining where it was made clear that the smallest of details could make or break a guest's entire dining experience. To say that I resonate with the sentiments laid out below, feels like an understatement...but I truly do. It is my sincere belief that the service industry has shaped me into the well-rounded and versatile person that I am today. I picked up a number of skills working in bars and restaurants that have translated well to my transition into more of the corporate world AND shaped me into a more compassionate human. What about you? I'd love to hear what your experiences in hospitality have taught you. #serviceindustry #hospitalityindustry #transferrableskills #customerservicejobs #versatility #commentbelow

New Tough Interview Question & Answer Why haven't you obtained a job so far?  Depending on the job market at the time you’re looking for work, and how much time has passed since you last worked, this question can be asked to determine your motivation in finding a job. If you present yourself as highly skilled, motivated and experienced, lengthy periods of unemployment give hiring managers pause. Do not imply you are so picky that nothing will appeal to you. You can say you were doing some independent consulting and that the right full-time opportunity hadn't presented itself yet. If there are “red flags” that have cropped up before that are keeping you from getting the position you want, make sure you address them and eliminate them if possible. You want employers where you apply to see your potential value to their firm rather than your “perceived shortcomings.” Find more Tough Interview Questions & Answers at hanklondon.com

Chai There! : A sip into the cultural and linguistic brew of global business. In India, "Chai pe charcha" (discussion over tea) isn't just a saying—it's a way of life. Almost every business negotiation, meeting, or casual discussion kicks off with a steaming cup of chai. We're accustomed to personalizing our brew: "Adrak wali chai, please!" (ginger tea) or "Masala chai, extra strong!" Did you know? The word "chai" itself tells a story of cultural exchange: "Chai" comes from the Chinese "chá", which spread across land routes to Persia, becoming "chai" in Hindi and many other languages. "Tea" derives from "te" in the Fujian dialect, which spread via sea routes to Europe. This linguistic journey mirrors the spread of tea culture itself! Across the globe, tea rituals offer fascinating insights into social norms and business practices with one thing in common, if you decline, it is seen as if you are saying no to hospitality. The perceived rudeness is just seen with different intensities in different cultures though. 🇨🇳 China: Tea-making is an art form, with specialized tools for each variety. The Gongfu tea ceremony isn't just about drinking—it's about precision, respect, and mindfulness. 🇯🇵 Japan: The tea ceremony (chanoyu) is a revered tradition. Creating tea vessels is a respected profession, with master potters achieving celebrity status. 🇬🇧 UK: "Fancy a cuppa?" isn't just politeness—it's an invitation to build relationships, both personal and professional. 🇷🇺 Russia: The samovar, a traditional tea urn, is central to social gatherings and symbolizes hospitality. So, what does "chai" really mean, culturally? It's more than a beverage. It's a social lubricant, a gesture of hospitality, and often, the first step in building lasting business relationships. Next time you're in a cross-cultural business setting, pay attention to the tea rituals. You might just unlock the secret to smoother negotiations! These are articulations of my understanding of these tea cultures and feel free to correct me if someone thinks I have missed out or misinterpreted something! :D What's your favorite tea tradition? How has tea played a role in your business interactions? #BusinessCulture #CrossCulturalCommunication #TeaTraditions #GlobalBusiness #Etymology P.S. Kulhad chai just has supremacy over all else in terms of "jumpstart" after a heavy lunch.

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐬? We are not talking about 007 codes to take action here though. In Asia, tea ceremonies are steeped in tradition and etiquette. The way tea is prepared, served, and consumed carries significant symbolic meanings. By understanding these meanings, individuals can avoid potential misunderstandings or offenses, while also demonstrating their respect and appreciation for the host and the ceremony itself. Here are some examples: 🍵 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐩 - This typically signifies that the person is a first-time visitor and wishes to receive the host's attention and kindness. However, the practice of inverting the teacup as a signal may vary depending on regional customs. 🍵 𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐞𝐚 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 - This action is often a sign of equal treatment or politeness, but it can also be interpreted as a suggestion of shared departure, depending on the context. 🍵 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 - In some cultures, pointing the spout of the teapot towards a guest is seen as a subtle way to indicate that the conversation should come to an end or that the guest's stay is nearing its conclusion. However, this is practice only in some parts of China 🍵 𝐍𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 - This often means that the current topic of discussion has been exhausted and the host is ready to move on to other topics or end the conversation. 🍵 𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐚 - The younger person taps the table with five fingers to express gratitude and respect to the elder for pouring the tea. This is a polite custom that is widely recognized and practiced. 🍵 Tea Cup Placed Upside Down on its Saucer - In some cultures, this might be interpreted as a signal that the guest has finished drinking and does not wish for more tea. These are just some examples of the different meanings that can be ascribed to the placement and handling of tea cups on a tea table. The actual interpretations may vary depending on cultural context and personal understanding. ❓ What tea traditions are you most familiar with?
