The Successful Hospitality Manager Attributes

Finally, Spring has arrived for 2008!

This is the time to be a qualified and responsible candidate in the hospitality industry for Western Canada. Like the change to Spring time, the market has also changed, bringing candidates greater opportunities to develop their careers and maintain a healthy life/work relationship.

The change in favor of candidates is due to several factors in Western Canada....the imminent arrival of the 2010 Olympic Games to British Columbia and the Oil boom in Alberta to name couple.

However, certain things remain constant from a recruiter's perspective. A qualified candidate will always have certain attributes that make them successful in their job hunt. For instance; professionalism, experience, drive, great communication skills, a business ethic, and a solid past history.

While I encourage qualified candidates to strive to find a position that is best suited to them and their lifestyle, I also suggest being a responsible candidate. Continue to maintain a sense of honor and respect towards your work, employer, and in the process of interviews with prospective employers.

These attributes define you as a qualified and responsible candidate which will help ensure you're successful in your career endeavors. It's simply a bonus that they also define you as a very decent human being.

Please call 604.552.2377 or email anytime if you have any questions or issues regarding hospitality employment in BC and Alberta.

Enjoy the coming sun!
