Career in Hotel
Industry
Choosing the right career can sometimes be a difficult
decision for the recent high school graduate. The best way to start your
decision-making process is to do a self-evaluation to determine what you would
enjoy doing and whether that career would lead to your personal success. Successful
people are highly motivated individuals who have confidence in themselves and
their abilities. They don't view their profession as a grind, but look on it as
fulfillment.
Hospitality Management, including the Food Service
Industry, is one of the fastest growing occupations in the world. There are
predictions that by the year 2018 there will be 18 million workers in this
industry. Food Service personnel are needed at the rate of one to every 10 to
12 positions, and the industry is seeking those with a culinary and hospitality
education to meet the complex demands of the 21st century.
How will you know if you would be good in these careers?
The hospitality industry is comprised of friendly, courteous, and helpful
individuals who are willing to deliver great customer service with a passion.
If you possess these qualities and have good communication skills, then this
exciting industry could be for you. If you have never worked in the hospitality
industry, find a related job (even if only part-time), and give it a test
drive. It is much smarter to try it out before you invest a lot of time and
money in a school only to discover that you're not suited for this occupation.
The best place to start your search for a good school
would be the internet. Many hospitality management sites have excellent links
with resources about the industry. Also, numerous schools will have links back
to their individual web sites. In addition to the internet, most states have an
employment commission and/or state education agency that can provide you with a
complete listing of all the schools in your area.
Types of training vary. If you choose the more
traditional route of a junior college or university, you will study
prerequisites such as English, math, history, and biology while you learn the
theories and concepts of the industry. If you choose a vocational school, you
will spend more of your time with hands-on training in the areas you choose.
Many vocational schools will also have an internship as part of the program. This
will not only give you practical working experience in the industry, it will
also make you and your resume more marketable upon graduation. Your degree and
professional work experience are the two most important elements to an
employer.
After you have found schools that you are interested in,
decide what you would like to do once you graduate. Then, look at a school's
curriculum and determine whether it meets your end objective. Next, speak with
knowledgeable individuals in the industry and see what schools they would
recommend. It is also a good idea to check with local hotel and chef
associations for their recommendations.
Upon graduation, students of Hospitality Management and
Culinary Arts schools may seek employment in hotels, restaurants, catering,
resorts, cruise ships, casinos, and entertainment venues, just to mention a
few. Jobs in hospitality operations can be found in almost every community in
the United States and abroad.
