ARE YOU EMPLOYABLE

Most of the hospitality and tourism graduates complain about the industry not offering them the opportunities to start their career after skool. Most of the time when you read an advert only 1% do not require experience, but how do you get experience if no one is willing to give the opportunity to get one.

When you sales person promote an innovative product they try by all means to convince the buyer that the product is worth it. As graduate how do you convince the employer that they should choose you above a person who has experience? You need to prepare a sales pitch to sell yourself to the employer and do not wait for hotels to advertise, contact them ask if they a vacant position or not. You will be surprised at how many of them have vacancies but they did not advertise.

Once you have been invited for an interview make sure you get the job. Sell yourself and never let your gut down. “I once went for an interview and i became too comfortable and you can imagine what happened after that, I did not get the job”. Watch your every step. Once you get the job make sure that the employer does not regret hiring you.

To be employable does not take a miracle, all you have to do is to ensure that you believe and trust yourself. Thousands of people are searching for work and is like a race, if you do not run fast enough you will lose.
