We'll be featuring a word or phrase particular to our industry and provide the common definition. Industry "Word" is a new edition to our Newsletter. You may be surprised with how much is part of our daily speak AND you may even learn a new industry catch phrase!
As a recruiter, I deal with all types of candidates and clients in hotels, restaurants, resorts, and so on. Some of the entry management or foreign workers are very much baffled by our language. You can imagine that in this dynamic industry where I work with various companies, I've encountered a host of acronyms, catch phrases and abbreviations.
We apparently like to keep things exciting regardless of industry ups and downs. What one company may call an OJE another will use RJP, where a person overseeing several operations may be called an Area Manager at one organization, another will prefer Territory Manager.
It's a fascinating part of our industry that most of us take for granted, but for some, a lack of finesse with the lingo can really impact the impression they make in an interview, an industry conference or at the corporate water cooler.
I suppose being a dynamic industry, we demand our vocabulary to be no less dynamic! So to amuse many and inform some, watch for our regular editions of Industry "Word" in our newsletter.
In hospitality,
