Hospitality jobs are often seen as a “first-time” job, the kind of job that people have in high school and university, but in reality hospitality management, tourism research and other hospitality services can often create rewarding, lifelong careers and full-time work. Working in the hospitality and tourism industry means looking after people for every type of occasion, treating them to exemplary customer service and making every day a special one.
If you’ve got experience in hospitality you can work anywhere – from the Scottish Highlands to a five-star London hotel. Paris cafes, a tapas bar in Spain, or a diner in the United States, anything is within your reach when you work in hospitality. Many people mix travel with part-time hospitality work, and then when they settle down chose to focus on their career progression, working their way up to a hotel manager or even into an administration role when the physical aspects of hospitality get tiring. And if you’re looking for something really exciting, take to the high seas – cruises will take you from Australia to the Caribbean and beyond! Wherever you want to go, hospitality can get you there!
Many ancient cultures have highly respected systems of hospitality deeply rooted in religion, superstition and beliefs. This is because the concept of hospitality, at its core, is about helping other people feel welcomed and cared for. Whether you work in Yorkshire or Cambridge, Belfast or Malta, full time or part time, working in hospitality lets you look after people for some of the biggest events of their lives, from weddings to birthdays and funerals.
Working in hospitality gives you an enormous amount of experience in a range of areas, with lots of soft skills. Decision making, time management, even social media and marketing, all are areas that you may get experience in when working in hospitality. That means that you can move from being a busboy to an usher to a host to a manager in restaurants, customer service management, for a professional body or for a small local business. You’ll never get bored with a career in hospitality!
