Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
it can be demanding because guests expect a lot more for their money paid. I enjoy meeting lots of different people from all over the world. Guests come to the hotel to sleep, meet family and friends and maybe go to work.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I am learning a new skill. I can use this reception skill in an office or another hotel around the world.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Using a new computer to enter customer details. Conversations to make guests at ease and smooth over problems.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
A bit slow at times but there is a structured programme. Sometimes I need to be pushed and sometimes my manager needs to be pushed.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I get a lot of feedback from my employer and plenty of support from colleagues of neighbouring branches.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I have a module to follow so i can ask for help and support if i don't understand something.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel qualified in this new field and more confident in talking to the general public.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
We have professional networking but I want to go down that root. I am still waiting for the last two Christmas parties.
