Housekeeping Intern

Aug 2022 - Oct 2022
This internship experience is worth 10CP that is accredited towards my overall Bachelors Degree once I have completed my 100hours.Throughout this experience, I was able to alternate between the various roles of the Housekeeping Department and understand the depth of each role and what/how their day-to-day tasks significantly affect the overall performance of the hotel itself. It taught me various skills that I didn’t think I need until it presented itself. Although it was truly exhausting, but it was one of the best experiences of my learning career. It gave me a reminder of my roots and gave me a clearer picture of where I want to go in life.Tasks & Roles involved;• RA duties - cleaning rooms - using HOTSOS app to make service orders, update status of rooms and send messages - understand differences of how to clean stayovers and departured rooms • PA duties - check daily tasks sheet - cleaning public areas of hotel (staff and guest bathrooms, restaurant, front of hotel, pool, gym and playground area on level 1, etc.)- completing HOTSOS service orders from RAs- arranging dirty linen from shoot • Team Leader- inspecting rooms & checking status of rooms • Housekeeping Supervisor • Housekeeping Manager Role - assigning RAs rooms for the day (equaling sharing credits and hours) - Team briefing per morning Show less
