Job Requirements
The only training I've received for this position has been
manuals supplied from the franchise merchant and on-line courses
offered by the same. With exceptional office management skills
learned in the military, the manuals and on-line course were
fairly easy.
|
Uppers
Meeting new people each day offers one of the best perks of this job. Having an
apartment furnished as part of the salary package is also a perk.
|
Downers
There are no set hours that are "free hours". One has to
schedule free time, and consider that even scheduled free time
may not be possible. Living on property means that I am on duty
basically 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
|
Lifestyle
A professional appearance is a must. You should always dress for the position
you want, rather than the position you have. It is a stressful environment and
it is imperative that one maintains a level of composure through all situations.
|
Compensation
I am furnished an apartment that includes all utilities, cable
television, internet access, telephone, and furniture, with my
base salary of $400 per week. When the owners of the hotel sell
the property, I will receive an undisclosed bonus.

Advice to Jobseekers
This position should only be considered if you have no family
ties. It is very demanding, but rewarding. Be willing to do
whatever needs to be done. If someone doesn't show up for work,
it is your responsibility to do the job yourself, even
housekeeping or maintenance.
