i would say its awesome!

If you have the chance to, go for it!

I was actually the MIS ( Management Information System ) asst manager, so it was somewhat of a mix of front end and back end job. Front end meaning u interact with the guests and backend being hey all the IT infrastructure and such.

If ur a good a$$ kisser (of the guests, that is lol ) you can earn some serious extra dough(tips) and its nice to interact with other nationalities, discover something new everyday..plus the hotel has so many departments, hsekeeping, banquet etc and IT systems are everywhere, you get to mingle with the staff as well. Something like an all access pass to the departments, its good if you're the social and talkative type..but hey, if you're not its a good to sharpen your PR skills smile.gif

but all is not green, its not all pros anyway...long working hrs..a hotel is 24/7 anyway! support calls at 3am...crappy guests who yell and throw things at you..politics..

All in all its still worth it ( pending on what designation lah), was there for about 1year ++..still in the ripe young age here, wouldnt wanna be too comfy in a position..

And one major plus point, front office ladies are hawt!! biggrin.gif (for you hot red blooded young males out there!) haha

Hiye,
I was a front office asst manager in one of the 5stars hotel at the Bukit Bintang area... What I can say from my experience are it was really hard work, torturing and the pay suck... Many who join the hotel line would say they love to meet ppl and all tht but after a year or two their view will definitely change... If you enjoy meeting unreasonable and stupid ppl from around the world, then the hotel line is for you... Or else please spare yourself the misery and join some other line of work...

No I'm actually a computer graduate.. My asst GM asked me why I wanted to join the service industry and I told her things like I like meeting ppl, hate sitting in front of the PC the whole day and all tht...

Ended up I had to sit in front of the PC the whole day tracking the room blockings and reservation and I ended up hating meeting ppl almost immediately after I met my first stupid customer...

I'm no longer in the hotel line now.. Resigned early this year to join a design company... No regrets though because I really learned a lot from my 2 years there..

Too many till I don't bother keeping count la... Most of the staffs there hate Singaporeans and Arabs but for me they are all the same.. You'll find unreasonable people from anywhere.. I've met dumb customer from everywhere including our own Malaysian but I'm used to it already I guess...

I'm ok with fussy customers because they actually pay the amount of money to enjoy the 5stars service... It's the dumb unreasonable ones that I can't stand... Idiots who can't find parking spots la, hotel too big la, room not same quality with whichever hotel they've stayed in before la... And being a chinaman company you'll definitely meet people who claim they know the owner of the hotel, the GM or whoever minister that crossed their mind... Can't stand stupid people who have to sell others name to carry themselves around...

Not only that you know... Traffic jam in front of the hotel also they complain.. As if it's within our control those stupid idiots... It's Bukit Bintang area la what do you expect... Go stay in Mint Hotel if you don't want any traffic jam...
