1.)I have been working since I was about 17, and as of now I have held multiple different positions, in various institutions. Each of these positions required a different set of skills and attributes, nevertheless they all required the same dedication and focus. I have always been one to show up and complete with my daily tasks, however there is a specific situation that I recall that required me to step up and do more than I was required to. 2.) I am referring back to my position as a receptionist at a busy hotel in Glendale,Arizona. I held this position for 8 months, I was welcomed and trained by an array of people who I believed would be around throughout my career there, however I quickly learned that the business of hotel management was a revolving door, and you learned more than enough names for the same position. Jumping forward to my third month there. I was pretty accustomed to the routine I had picked up of what was my job, but I kept a close eye to the tasks performed throughout other positions. Soon after I knew that I could essentially perform any task asked to. My confidence was yet to be tested until a busy Saturday came rolling in and I was asked to cover a double shift. I showed up about 15 mins early and prepped for what would be my next 11 hours. I stood in the break room and noticed that half of my team was indisposed, it was just me for 11 hours, to tend to the hotel. 3.) I tried not to worry about the circumstances, and focused on opening up my
I have held several positions throughout my life. The knowledge and experience that I have acquired has played an intricate part in molding me into the person I am today. For most of my life I have always been driven to achieve. I am always setting goals for myself, long and short term and stay committed to achieving these goals. I feel that you must hold yourself accountable to your commitments and pursue what drives you. To say that you are going to accomplish something is one thing, but staying committed and actually achieving the goal is a true testament of perseverance. Commitment is not just a word, it is a chosen way of life. Sometimes this comes with many sacrifices and hard work that can only be surmounted by inner drive and
While finishing my sophomore year of college, I applied, and was offered a position as a Desk Manger for the Department of Residence Life and Housing. Although this may seem inconsequential, I was the first ever sophomore hired for this position. This job required administrative skills, time management capabilities, and the ability to supervise over 30 people at any given time. Starting out in this position, I found myself to be very strict as a supervisor and had to learn to be more flexible with the many personalities that I was working with. It was during that first year that I made a personal choice to expand my knowledge and leadership so that I could become a better leader. By the second semester, I was voted staff member of the year and was given many accolades from my employees and coworkers. I continued working in this position for the remainder of my college journey. During this time, I was able to supervise over 200 people and take on more responsibility. Also while in this position, I was assigned as a Resident Assistant taking on dual roles, while still maintaining my grades.

You: Soon after I graduated from high school I went to work at a convenient store that was open 24 hours and 7 days a week. I was a night clerk that worked from 11PM to 7AM for over a year. I also worked the 2nd shift from 3PM to 11PM for almost a year until they promoted me to a shift supervisor. I enjoyed the 3rd shift more than the 2nd shift, but I can handle either one. It will be much easier for me to work the 3rd shift now since I just finished my business degree at

Working for Morgan Stanley I was the youngest cashier they ever had which presented several challenges for me which included being confronted about my age, comprehension and experience. I pride myself on being able to not only operate professionally and gracefully with difficult co-workers but through my actions and discipline I upheld the highest standards of transparency which in turn earned their respect. Another past experience would be the time I spent as a Shift Supervisor at Starbucks. In this position I was responsible for consistent customer service provided by all employees, recognition of employee’s achievements and overall shift success. Throughout my time I also took advantage of every opportunity I could and became a certified Barista, Learning Coach (Trainer) and Coffee
I've held many different positions in my past employment history, but I considered only two for this assignment. The jobs couldn't have been more different although I enjoyed them for the same reasons. I thoroughly loved working at McDonald's Restaurant in my late twenties and early thirties. The last twelve years I have worked for a radiologist in a private practice. I like helping people, and at this job I get a chance to do that in several ways on every patient.
Taking all the habits into consideration, I like to believe that I have become an effective person. That might not have been the case a five or ten years ago when I was just showing up to work just to collect my pay every two weeks. I believe that if I had taken the time to introspect earlier on in my career I could have been walking a complete different path from today. With my goals clearly defined and my family to support me along the way, I will continue to work hard, and further develop the habits I am currently lacking, which will in turn make me a better person and a more effective future leader as an officer in the

Being a Hotel General Manager would be my ideal job in the Lodging Industry. To get the that point of being a General Manager would take years of working in the hotel industry as well as having the proper education to preform the job. My plan of action would be to start out as a check-in agent or a front desk associate at a hotel. This would give me experience in working with guests and with numbers, knowledge every General Manager needs. Working at the front desk initially would give me a good idea what each department in the hotel does, and perhaps I would move on to another job in the hotel just to gain more experience. A good General Manager needs to know how everything in the hotel functions.

These days, there have been a number of hotels in various cities, towns and countries. From when I was young to now, I have visited many inns since I loved to travel to somewhere. I had any feeling and impression about hotels where I have been before I became eighteen years old. Hotels were just hotels that I needed to stay for the night. No more than that I thought. Before I went to Canada to study English in 2011, my family had a plan to travel somewhere and stay in a hotel for my farewell in Korea. After we visited many attractions, we were heading to the hotel that we made a reservation. When I saw the entrance of the hotel, I was surprised at first, and when we went inside of the hotel, I was surprised again. For two days, I was very impressed and I thought a lot in positive ways. I always had a desire to visit again and I wanted to get a hotel like that inn. It was the first time for me to know what I want to become. The trip to the hotel was totally changed my life and my dream.
