careers in hotels
Get noticed by the five-star hotel
Rakhee Patel, people and talent lead, Dorchester Collection “Dorchester Collection is a big believer in giving people a chance, so remember if an opportunity is presented then really go for it. I’ll never forget the day I was invited for an interview and when I walked out, I passed a queue of excited, smiley people. It instantly struck me I would not get the job because I had not shown the employer my true, burning passion for the industry. I assumed my vast work experience would guarantee me the job and I was so wrong. I’ve learned a lot of lessons at my own expense. It’s the only way to grow.”
Get noticed by the budget chain
Ed Pyke, cluster general manager (West London), Premier Inn “Premier Inn bases its recruitment on three key values: being genuine, confident and committed. This is what we look for at all interviews, from kitchen porter to managing director. We also recruit based on attitude and personality rather than past experience. So if you can show us these qualities then you are well on your way to a job.”
“Not only have I been given the opportunity to come to work every day and do a job that I love, but I now have a career within a company that has given me an opportunity to grow, develop and achieve my dreams, both professionally and personally”
Stuart Mapplebeck, reception team member, Premier Inn 16
