A Career in Hospitality

Often when I meet people they will pass remarks regarding my career. “The hours are very long” “The hours are very unsociable” and that’s only me talking. What people don’t realise is the fantastic thrill and excitement that comes from working in hospitality.

For many years I looked on as my friends earned more money than I did. However, while they have reached a plateau in their career, my salary has caught up with them and the potential earning power I have is nowhere near over.

I have worked my way from the bottom of the ladder in a relatively short period of time. 10 years ago this summer, I was working away in the Isle of Man as a banqueting waiter only heading into second year in college. Now I’m a senior manager in one of Dublin’s busiest hotels, best bars and nite club.

That’s the way the hospitality industry is. The opportunities for progression up the ranks are far greater than in any other industry.

If you’re reading this wondering where do I go from here? There’s worse than hospitality.
