Summary

With almost a decade of work experience in the hospitality industry, I’ve come to realize that what essentially drives me and energizes me are:

  • maximizing profit: through in-store marketing and up-selling techniques
  • providing customers with a quality experience: by good service, good advice, good environment.
  • managing and motivating an effective team: by example, and with clarity, fairness and a sense of humors.

Additional Information

After I graduated from College, I got the jobs in both Food & Beverage and Human Resources area in Hotel Industry. As a supervisor in the work place, I learned how to lead the other colleagues, to operate a restaurant and to interact with our customers. The most important thing I learned is the sense of responsibility. In addition, my communication skills are improved day by day through these years. I’ve enjoyed working in various branches of the hospitality industry: Chinese , Japanese, and Western style food, and wine and beverage knowledge. I am now ready to transfer my accumulated expertise and experience of working with a discerning clientele to the international industry. For me, presently, I’m looking forward to, working in a modern, international organization, and to contribute my very best to it. I enjoy travelling with family & friends, mainly for sightseeing, experiencing cultural diversity and exploring different gourmets. Apart from relaxation, these leisure activities also help to relate, upon return to the workplace, to customers on a social level.
