My name is Victoria Delaney; I’m from Newton Heath in Manchester. So I was out of work
for four years raising my daughter and then she started full time school in September,
so that’s when I started looking for another job.
I’d never actually worked dealing with like people on a day to day basis as much as you
do in a hotel and normally was sat in a back office but I was doing my work experience
here made me realise that I am a people person, very outgoing, and I think my personality
really suited the job.
I was so excited on my first day, it was a night shift, it was a Friday night and I was
actually really looking forward to it, doing something different on a weekend. It was so
good, everyone was dead like welcoming towards me, it wasn’t scary one bit, once I was here.
Its changed me as a person, it's built my confidence up, it's opened a lot of doors for me for the
future. If I ever did want to look for other work because I was doing reception, a bit
of housekeeping, bar work, food and beverage, serving breakfast; which I’ve never done
none of that before, so its gave me all that experience and the confidence in them areas
of work.
Its something to add on to your CV. It gives you the experience; it's opened up a big career
path which is going to better mine and my daughters life.
