Hosts/Hostesses

Any experience working in the hospitality industry will be useful. Part-time or summer work as a waiter or waitress, or even as a front desk clerk in a hotel, will be useful. You can learn more about this position by observing hosts and hostesses when you dine out at your favorite restaurants. You'll notice that certain people have the ability to make you feel welcome just by their ability to make small talk when walking you to your seat. You could also participate in an information interview with hosts/hostsesses to learn more about the field.
