Fun day in Class

Friends..........

There is will always be that special bunch of people in you life who bring out the crayze side of you. Never let them go cause they will be useful in this industry. After a long day of work you will need them to help you to get your mind of work.

I have never in my life laughed so hard and done so much random thing in my life. It is a real good way to get rid of stress and you just help you to unwind. Screw a class of wine and a good movie, there are way more better thing to do in you spare time.

Go out ans live a little, be random. Go to a new restaurant order something that you will never order. Go to a new night club and make some new friends. Break your habits do not get in to a rutine that will be the worst mistake of your life.

To all the people who have that great friends out there........ hold on to them, never let them go cause that is the real jewel of life.

Social networking

DON''T BURN THE BRIDGE

In the Hospitality industry I have learned that it is a very tight netted community. Everyone knows everyone. It is quite ironic to say that because this is one of the world largest industry but yet we stay so close with everyone. The simple fact of this is WORD OF MOUTH. Word of mouth is the must powerful fool in this industry in can best you best tool ever or it can rune your whole entire life.

I'm not saying to keep in contact with all you fellow workers and friends in this industry but never leave a job on a bad impression. Word of you impression will travel world wide and most likely  you will never  be ale to recover form that. I have first had experience on this. I'm not going to say name of place but ignorance is a fool.

Yes back in the day in 1st year we all thought we knew everything and nobody back teach you anything but I learned the hard way. Lucky through hard work and some bid of explaining I was able to recover my name.

I you wanna make it big in this industry be come more active go to place see people. Get your name out there. Work some charity functions, let people see what you can do make them aware of what you are who you are. Never back down for a challenge. Do social networking go and meet people because that is the way you get you name out there


Introduction

There has always been a specific position for every one in the world, always a specific job to do for everyone. Well luckily for me mine was in the hospitality industry. Im not going bore all of you will my life history and how I got here and all that.

My basic mission in this blog is to tell the work about what is like living and breathing Hospitality.
To start off just to give you a brief break down I'm still studying hospitality and I'm in my last year now. I have worked at a couple a famous hotels in South Africa and worked in this industry for about 6 year now.

To all of you who would like to do this for a living be warned this is not for the faint of heart. Don't think this is a paid holiday kind of job. You need to be committed to this industry or ells you are never going to love it. It takes hard work can dedication to become an really in this industry. Never in my life have I been so tired, stressed, emotional and overworked in my life but you know what it worth it.

The people you meet and places you see make it all seem like you are living the dream even thou you work a basic 10-12 hours shift sometimes. For dining with guest in the valleys of Magaliesburg to roaming the forests of the Drakensberg. 


I will be here to give you some advise and keep you update on new trends and vads in the Hospitality industry and give you the 411 of you so survive this Industry
