3. How should someone new to the workforce get a J-O-B like yours? |
|
If someone wanted to go about getting a job similar to yours, what would you recommend for him or her to do?
I got the job through a friend who was a manager with the company... But the company is pretty open with hiring just about anyone that applies. Valet experience will help you out a lot.
|
|
What
skills do you think a person should have if they want to pursue a
position like yours? Please be specific and explain why (e.g., social
skills, organization skills, technical skills)
Guest Service Skills are #1 as we are secret shoppeed every week to make sure we are doing our job correctly. If you do bad with a shopper I have seen people get fired just for that.
You have to be pretty in shape as well... Run probably 3 miles a day back and forth to the Valet parking lot.

Not necessarily, mostly logic and common sense will get you by in this job.

Don't hold back your personality as that will help you out in the tips department. Be as energetic and as outgoing as possible and you will do fine.
