be it a kitchen, restaurant, cafe –it provides them with real world expectations.

Without having work experience I didn’t really know what to expect from working in a kitchen. You see the hyped up world of a working kitchen on TV, but for me it took working in the real world to find out what I liked. I quickly found out I liked the fast pace of the kitchen and working as part of a team. Without having the exposure of working in a kitchen, before I started my apprenticeship, I wouldn’t have known what I was strong at or enjoyed.
Without work experience I am not sure how much I could have contributed to classroom discussion at TAFE or to understand what we were covering in class. I found work experience extremely helpful to have some understanding of how a business works in practice.
If I didn’t have work experience I am not sure what I would have talked about in my interviews; you can only talk about your hopes and expectations for so long. The “Tell me about a time…” questions would have been hard to answer for me without work experience.
My work experience was a great opportunity to learn how to work for different types of bosses and coworkers. I also had the opportunity to learn about different jobs available in the hospitality industry. It was a real eye opener. There is still a lot I have to learn and lots of opportunities to explore.
Customer service is the core of the hospitality industry. Even people in jobs that don’t have direct guest contact are supporting guest service.
The most successful candidates have positive attitudes, energy and are naturally friendly and service oriented.
To work in hospitality, applicants also need to like change and be able to think on their feet.
