 | I recently started working as a front desk agent at a hotel because I'm interested in pursuing a career in hospitality. I have a bachelor's degree but lack hotel experience and was wondering if there's any other type of entry level position within a hotel that can provide me more of a challenge? Is it pointless to work in such a low-paying position, will it eventually pay off if I work really hard at it? Thanks!

 | I am very interested in working at a hotel, particularily with guest services. I would like to know what expierence I need. I currently only have 3 years of cashier/customer service at a Pharmacy/Convenience Store, and I am worried that most hotels will want expierence as a Front Desk Agent. How do I get into this business and what kind of information would I put on my resume? Should I follow up after I hand in the resume?
Thanks!

| Would have most likely start as a front desk agent or what would be most likely?
I shouldn't say NO experience, I worked at a hotel for 6 months a couple years ago but it closed and I lost my job. I really liked the field and that's why I'm thinking about pursing a degree in hospitality.

| I applied for a job at the Holiday Inn as a Front Desk Agent but I have no idea what to wear. How am I expected to dress, a nice blouse and pants etc or can I wear jeans, a cute top, and some flats? Unfortunately all I do have is jeans, somewhat nice tops/blouses, and a pair of flats. Am I completely screwed...
And any advice on the interview?

 | Is McDonalds good work experience for a recent college graduate such as myself? I just graduated from college a few months ago. Like everyone else, I’m having a hard time finding a job in my field. I graduated with a bachelor degree in hospitality management. I have very little work experience. I did two internships during my school years. I worked for a marketing firm for 3 months and for a hotel as a front desk agent for 6 months. I got a job at McDonalds two months after my graduation because I wanted to do a 3 day part time in order to make some money on the side until I find a job in the hotel field like I want to. My question is do you think the work experience from McDonalds will be helpful? A crew member has to deal with the public just like a hotel front desk agent. They have to provide good customer service, interact with a diverse group of customers, handle the register, work fast pace, multi task, handle cash, and be a people person. The hotel field is a little similar because front desk agent has to provide good customer service to the guest and they work at the front desk dealing with a diverse group of people. Do you think I can transfer this experience to my field? Should I add it to my resume since I had been working for McDonald's for almost 7 months?
In case you want to know i'm 20 years old and i live with my parents.
