For my work experience I worked in the Four Seasons Hotel in Ballsbridge. This work experience appealed to me because I was curious to see how a hotel operates , and how the different departments worked and what they did for the guests.
In my favourite department, room service, I was given tasks such as preparing a trolley, setting the table, bringing the dishes and cutlery to the stewarding department to be cleaned, cleaning up the workplace and refreshing the rooms ( this involved polishing and cleaning all glasses and also making sure the coffee facilities were in place.
The longer I was there the more they trusted me and gave me tasks to do on my own. These included going around in the morning collecting all the trolleys and trays that had the left overs from the night before or taking the amenities orders.
I learned that obviously punctuality is very important, you should always leave home early in case you miss the bus. I also learned to greet everyone you see. Always be confident, if you have a question ask or if you think something is wrong, tell them. No matter what, you should give 100% because it makes everything easier for you and for everyone else working with you . Be polite and ask if people need help with anything.
I found working at Room Service was very time consuming , interesting and complicated at times. There are only 3 people working at once, because of this there is always something to be done and this makes your day go very quickly.
I like to think I was professional in my work and that I don't stress out in pressurized situations. I would one day like to return there to work there part-time during college because it is a great job with good pay and wonderful people.
