IS TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY PROGRAM GOOD FOR YOUR CAREER?


After graduation from senior high school you might be confused what to choose for your future career. Do I need to continue my study or should I just apply position in company? If you are kind of “knowledge people” and thinking that you need to gain more useful knowledge, I really recommend you to continue your study. These are 4 things you will gain if you are working in hotel industry:


1. Great Income
Honestly, I have been in this industry since 7 years ago and counting. Hotel has two times salary income, basic salary and guaranteed service. You will get basic salary in the end of the month and service salary in the middle of the month. Just bear in mind that you might have service salary as much as your basic salary or higher than that. Well, I could have my whole basic salary and never use it for a couple of months because I only use my service salary. No matter where your department is, you will have these two things.

2. Increase your communication
Here in my country, we rarely use English as a main communication. So, by joining this industry, I could increase my communication either in English or in my mother language. I started to learn how to speak politely, trough away my problem during working and be a humble person. Even sometimes my heart is screaming for my problems but my lips have to be able to smile. Hehehe
Before studying in university, it was really hard for me to make conversation to many people. But my major has been forced me to make a good communication through my lecturer and this is the result. I could make a connection with foreigner, government, Non Government Organization, local people, professional, etc.

3.  Advance Career
If you are smart enough so it will be easy for you to advance your career in this industry. You know, one year in Hotel is really enough to stay and learn about their management. All you need to do just try to figure out something else in another hotel. Well, perhaps if you could join in Archipelago group in the first year, try Accor Hotel group in your second year. After 3 or 4 years experiences it will be easy for you to negotiate whether your salary or position. Friends of mine were saying this to me a couple years ago and now I prove it, it works well!

4. Numbers of Relations
The most thing I am really grateful is connectivity. Bear in mind that you will connect to so many people because usually one hotel has hundreds employee and will be changed every year. One team has approximately 10 to 15 persons and in one year they will be gone one by one and changing with new people. These new people usually had a great experience in their previous hotel and that is our chance. It is really common in hotel industry moving to one hotel to another hotel. The more you move, the bigger your chance to have those three things above.

Ini aku tulis karena geram pada tanyain kenapa orang sebegok aku bisa diterima di Starbucks. Dan menepis segala pemikiran bahwa kerja di Starbucks itu kayak kerja di kedutaan Amerika. Oh No! Well, biar kalau ada yang tanya jadi aku arahin aja ke blog ini. . Bekerja dimanapun, ada enak dan enggaknya. Kalau nggak percaya ya coba aja. Termasuk di starbucks, coffee shop bergengsi dan sedikit mahal untuk ukuran minuman kopi. Kenapa aku bisa masuk ke Starbucks? Langkah pertama yang harus dilakukan adalaaaahhh........ Melamar kerja ke starbucks. Ya iyalah, nggak akan mungkin starbucks tiba-tiba nyuruh aku duduk, interview, kerja. (Siape elu?). Akhir tahun 2015 starbucks berencana buka cabang pertama di Pekanbaru. Jadi mereka open recruitment besar-besaran. Dicari 1 orang Store Manager, 1 orang Asistant Manager, 3 orang SPV dan sekitar 30 Barista. Karena aku tau diri, pengalaman kerja juga baru 1 tahun -magang- maka aku coba lamar posisi Barista. Interviewnya full english nggak sih? ENGGAK!!

Kentut di Kelas? Selamat! Kita Sama

Aku nggak bisa tahan buat ceritain pengalaman yang memalukan ini. Yap, aku kentut dikelas. Ternyata enak banget. Semacam ada perasaan yang terpendam yang susah diluapkan karena takut perasaan ditolak oleh teman sekelas. Kalau kentut pelan dan baunya menyebar dan menimbulkan fitnah sih biasa aja ya. Udah mainstream. Nah ini, aku kentut bersuara yang agak keras lebih keras dari desibel-nya ayam jantan berkokok. Legaaaaaaaaaah... . Jadi ceritanya jam 7 pagi ada kelas Listening for TOEFL. Nah setelah kelas itu aku coba cari makan, laper. Maka pergilah aku kan, ke warung makan yang murah-meriah-muntah. Makan banyak, porsi kuli. Kenyang. . Lanjut kelas Reading for TOEFL. Tiba-tiba aku merasa nggak enak sama perutku. Tapi karena pelajaran udah dimulai, aku malas bergerak ke toilet. Udah PeWe. Yaudah aku lanjutin dengerin penjelasan teacher, sekalian bahas soal-soal toefl. Aku duduk disamping teman aku, 3 orang teman aku di samping kiri. Mereka pada diam, ngerjain soal-soal toefl. Nah, di
