Describe career opportunities available in hospitality organizations and Recognize skills and knowledge necessary to advance within the Hospitality Industry.

First, do some reflection on your career goals and choose a job/career goal, defining your ideal position within the hospitality industry. l focus on describing and explaining the necessary skills and knowledge required or preferred for advancement in the field, from an entry level position to that goal position in management (preferably to general manager, vice president, or director level). The writing should be outlined by job progression and you can refer to specific job postings from company or third party job sites, like hcareers.com for example.

It’s best to define the goal position within the introductory paragraph, and briefly describe some of the qualifications a person would need to obtain that position. From there, you’ll work backwards. Start by finding an entry level position that would get you on the path to gaining the skills and experience needed to move up. Find a job posting for that entry level position and define the skills, education, and experience needed for that role. Then briefly describe what you would learn and gain that would help you become qualified for the next step up. Keep going until the skills and experience would qualify that person for the goal position.

NOTE: Even if you are not actually planning to obtain employment within hospitality, you will choose a hospitality job for the purpose of this writing. Also, you should be reviewing the feedback from your week two submission prior to beginning this assignment.
