High Hotels Ltd.’s Post

Its been a month since I started my internship at JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa and I thought it would be good to do a short reflection on what has been going on. The first couple of weeks are always a bit challenging, especially if you're new to the job but I found that three things increase your chances of learning and get acquainted faster: being proactive, learning from those who have some experience on the job and the old but very valuable, humility. This first month also reminded me of a quote from one of our leadership talks at the beginning of the year “undoing routines is hard but we need to put in the work to break the routines that stop us from achieving our full potential,” and although being challenging, this is key to growth. I've had to drastically change my routine which has made me embrace the simple things in life such as naps, walks around the neighborhood, sunrises and sunsets, quiet time at the park, etc. When it comes to the job, the interactions we have with guests are different everyday but for the most part, enjoyable. It's interesting how an exchange of smiles and greetings on the first day turns into an "I hope to see you on my next stay", "it was a please to meet you" or "I wish you the best in your endeavors" - this for me is the joy of hospitality, providing an instance for people to make a positive contribution in each others lives. The last month was a good start and I'm excited for what this month will bring. I hope to share more as I advance in this journey. PS: a quick video of the morning view on my way to work. #learning #growing #living

If I ever need to choose only one word to describe my MIT journey at Four Seasons, I will definitely go for the “privilege” one. This might sound too much; however, it is exactly what I could think of after being given so many opportunities to learn, to ask, to practise, to work and to act here at Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An. I always regard myself as a “planner” who prefers organising everything on my own from the original plan A to the back-up plan Z, to waiting for what the universe is putting in order for me. This might be unnecessary since we all know that life is not working that way. But believe me, living with a plan makes you feel more proactive and really gives you the direction. My goal of becoming an MIT here was first started when I was learning about the company’s internship programs to prepare for my very 1st mandatory one at university. After experiencing myself and learning that this is exactly the right place, I started working harder on my personal image, paying more attention to my studies and seriously building up the required profile until I received a nod of approval: “You are potential, and we would like to give you this chance.” That was also when I knew my hard work would definitely pay off. I have currently completed 3/4 of my training progress as an MIT by being rotated in different service sectors to gain a deep understanding of their functions and responsibilities with the guidance from my leaders and seniors. Despite several shortcomings, I am pleased to see myself growing and becoming a better version that I always expect myself to be. There will still be a long way to go, but I appreciate all the opportunities given and want to thank myself for never thinking of giving up. And that is my journey with Four Seasons.

The first internship experience of a Chinese student in the United States is really... It was so fun and awesome!! I interned at Hilton Columbus at Easton. My internship was in the banquet department. The main project I am engaged in now is to learn how to arrange banquets and how to prepare for banquets with my colleagues. Sometimes, I also learn how to arrange and hold regular meetings around leaders. The skills I am developing are related to the etiquette and hygiene of banquets and catering, such as the placement of coffee cups and the hygiene of knives and forks. All these are conducive to my future work in the hotel because the most important thing in the hotel work is to make guests feel enthusiastic, solve problems for guests, and ensure the most important health for guests. During the internship, I learned a lot of things, such as making utensils serving meals, etc. I am a very introverted person, but once I took the initiative to ask customers what help they needed and provided services to them, which felt really good. This is my first internship in a hotel, and I think it is a great growth for me, which makes me know what the specific work of the banquet department is, which can help my future career development.

As a graduate of a Hospitality education, I first identified the general goal for my career path: Hospitality. During the 03 years of learning different aspects of hospitalitymanagement, from restaurants to the front office to back office, plus talking to my lecturers and experiencedprofessionals, I narrowed my options. Take different roles during internship times to truly identify. For ex: I did myinternship in F&B management, FrontOffice,and Housekeeping. This helped me have more exposure to identify the kind of environment I wanted to be in. Then follow the path :

My relationship with my supervisor changed overnight - from supportive to cold The reason was revealed only on the last day of my internship He'd heard a rumor that I 'hated my job and was just waiting to become a hotel director' This was a twisted half-truth Yes, I aspired to be a hotel director, but no, I never hated the job - In fact, I'd chosen it to learn the trade from the ground up My mistake: I openly spoke about my ambitions Some people hate ambition 🤯 15 years later, I make the same mistake again - I share my ambitions, even here on Linkedin Why? Because authenticity matters It's easy to talk about achievements post-success, but I believe in sharing the whole journey – the ups and downs, the aspirations, and yes, the setbacks 👉Be bold! If something is important to share, do it even against resistance So, what's your take on sharing ambitions? And how do you navigate potential misunderstandings or resistance? ------------------------------- If this added value to you, please share - Follow me to join me on my quest for impact #personaldevelopment #communication #ambition #authenticity

Learning by doing: the essence of an internship where every detail is designed for you.

Many hotel management students expect a fancy job with a big salary after their internship, but they might be mistaken. Parents often sacrifice a lot for their children's hotel management education, hoping for success. However, it's crucial to understand the practical aspects, challenges, and necessary skills before committing to such courses. 👉 Seeking professional advice and counseling prior to investing in hotel management education is paramount. #students #hotelmanagement
