Jun 2015 - Jun 2016
As a management intern I gained valuable experience in the food and beverage industry and rooms division management. Both learning the logistics in back of house and front of house management. I have learnt the importance of being part of a team and how to manage staff of all ages with different cultural backgrounds. Daily roles included: Front desk operations, customer engagement and dealing with customer issues. Being the on floor manager in the restaurant and at the beach club, handling employee queries, scheduling, cash handling, organising private parties and intimate weddings. Problem solving, money handling, up-selling and employee motivation are among other roles that I have put into practice over the last year.
