From New Jersey, to New York, to Colorado…enjoy this story of a resort worker who is working her way up the ladder. She shares many tips that could help you get hired!<\/p>\n

Tell us a little about yourself. <\/p>\n

I am 29 years old and live in Colorado. Before Colorado I lived in New York City. I went to the University of Delaware and I received a degree in geography and minored in Latin American Studies. While in college, I worked at a hotel down the Jersey shore as a restaurant server. After college, I moved to New York City and began working at my first hotel job. <\/p>\n

What made you want to work in the hotel industry? <\/p>\n

I had studied abroad in Costa Rica while I was in college. My friend thought of me when a sales assistant position became available at Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica. Before then, I had never thought of the hospitality industry even though I had worked at a hotel during my summers in between college. I always thought it as a job, not a potential career. <\/p>\n

What related experience did you have prior to being hired for your first position? <\/p>\n

Prior to bring hired; I had worked in advertising sales for a local penny saver in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

What hotel do you currently work for? <\/p>\n

I currently work for Hotel Jerome, An Auberge Resort in Aspen, Colorado.<\/p>\n

Approximately, how many employees does the hotel employee? <\/p>\n

I am not certain, but my guess would be that the hotel employees about 130 full-time employees. <\/p>\n

What is your job title? <\/p>\n

My job title is Group Sales Manager.<\/p>\n

When did you first learn about your current position? <\/p>\n

I first heard about this opportunity through my fianc\u00e9 who also works in the hospitality industry. I then followed up, and found the job posting on the company’s website.<\/p>\n
