You know what, recently, a friend phone me up and told me about her difficulties in finishing her assignment. She is pursuing her diploma in hotel management and she's currently doing her first assignment, that is requesting a 5 star hotel manager to bring them around the hotel at the same time introducing the aspects of becoming a hotel manager and maybe considering it as a future career.

So, after receiving all the approval letters from her college authorities, she started her work in a team and started to choose a hotel for her assignment. I'm not going to stat what hotel she chose because obviously if I'd do that, it'll be bad for the hotel's reputation, not that my blog is viewed worldwide.

Anyway, after choosing hotel A, she started off emailing her request and approval letter to the hotel management, hoping they would reply her ASAP. Instead, after sending tonns of email, calling them day and night, faxing them the letter several times, my friend still did not get a single reply. Which really brought her into a 'damsel in distress' situation and ended calling me for a solution. @.@

Ok, this is the thing. What I see was, in the hotel management business, they are practically lack of people and stuff, sometimes I even see stuff running up and down the hotel multitasking due to lack of staff.

As a manager of the hotel, I know that the main objective is to produce more income for the hotel but seeing the staff being so insufficient, don't the manager ever though of how to involve more people into the hotel management business?

Is a rare chance that students pursuing hotel management course would call up a hotel to request a quick tour around the hotel. Hotel managers could actually use this chance to offer them a place in the hotel and maybe ask them to consider their hotel as their future career. A chance like this don't come often and I think is really ridiculous that hotels don't take this opportunity to increase staff enrolment.

Is similar to a case like a beggar is already suffering from poverty and when people offer money, her refuse to take it out of pride. Stupid isn't it? If there's chance right in front of you, grab it before other people grabs it. Don't turn now chances because of pride and self-image. People might criticize you now but later, you'll get the better times.

Is just too bad that people nowadays don't think that way....
