How to apply for a job in a foreign hotel

During the interview, job applicants must demonstrate characteristics that meet the requirements of the position. The hotel industry needs enthusiastic, patient, and polite employees. If the applicant has a cold face and answers questions intermittently during the interview, Douglas will not hesitate to exclude him from the internship list. Douglas once encountered such a candidate: when he ran into the interview room, he sat on a chair and crossed his legs without saying hello to the interviewer. During the interview, his cell phone rang, and he answered the phone without saying hello. Later, members of the interview panel cut his interview short. Douglas said that you must be polite when working in the service industry, because each waiter represents the image of the hotel. If this candidate treats customers so rudely, customers may not patronize the hotel again.

English speaking ability is also an important criterion for recruiting employees at Jinjiang Tomson InterContinental Hotel in Shanghai. Among the guests of international hotels, overseas guests account for a very high proportion. Without fluent English speaking skills, guests often think that the hotel is not professional enough. So, what level of English can meet the hotel's requirements? Level 4, Level 6 or Professional Level 8? Douglas said that he does not value the applicant's English certificate. As long as the applicant can have a 15-minute conversation with him in English, there is basically no problem with the applicant's English ability. He once met an applicant who had passed Level 8 of his major. He started to stutter within five minutes of the conversation, and the applicant was eventually rejected by him.

Everyone enjoys comprehensive training

Jinjiang Tomson InterContinental Hotel has relatively detailed and strict standards when interviewing students and retaining interns. After entering the hotel, employees can enjoy to comprehensive training and promotion opportunities. Douglas said that every year the hotel selects outstanding "high-potential employees" for key training, tailors training plans for them and tracks them in a timely manner. It is reported that when Linda first joined the hotel, she could do everything from copying, typing, and answering the phone. With her own efforts and the company's training, she has grown into a middle-level manager today four years later. Linda said that the hotel very much welcomes college students who are willing to serve others to come for internships and hopes that they will grow in the hotel. Only those who love this job can experience the joy of work and obtain the opportunities provided by the hotel.
