Hotel jobs are an effective way to gain experience in the hospitality industry. Hotel workers tend to be part of a team who synchronise their efforts to ensure smooth daily operations and guest satisfaction. Every staff member in the hotel industry has a pivotal role to play - starting from entry level all the way up to management.

Ranging from hotel maids, cleaners, hotel chefs, front desk receptionists, waiters, baristas, bartenders, security positions, assistant managers, general managers, handymen, housekeeping, concierge to many more.

To start a career in the hotel industry, it helps if the applicant has a friendly personality with a can-do attitude. An ability to stay calm in stressful situations such as dealing with a disgruntled customer will work well in their favour. The nature of hotel jobs requires flexible hours that can cut into evenings and weekends - when many go out to socialise. To succeed in the hotel world, then a candidate must be happy to work such unconventional shifts. The average pay in the hotel industry is £7.80-£15.60/hour. The type of qualification required will vary from job to job in the hotel realm. If one goes for a job in the restaurant branch or at a bar, then experience or a diploma in those fields will be relevant to help a candidate land a job. If going for an assistant managerial position, a hoteling degree or similar qualification may be required.
