You are up early in the morning because of your Manager-on-Duty shift. The breakfast is really busy so you will assist your colleagues in the restaurant. Then you receive a message on your beeper asking you if you could help the Front Office, where 11 rooms are waiting for check-out at the same time. While you’re doing this, you get a call from a prospective guest who would like to reserve a room for next week. No problem, you will take care of it! At 11 Am you have an appointment with the General Manager because there is a fun project which you will be working on in the coming months. Thereafter some administrative tasks need to be done and you will walk through the hotel to check if everything is as it should be. Your shift finishes at 15.00, when you have filled in the Duty log and handed over the duty to another colleague. No day is the same for a Duty Intern in our hotel and that is why this internship is so much fun! You enjoy the enthusiast guests and will make sure to provide them with the best service possible. Because if you are happy, your guests will be as well!
