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.
