Tips for Entry
During high school, look for a part-time job or summer work at a nearby hotel or motel. Data entry work is also helpful in building computer skills.
Talk to your career counselor about job opportunities in the hotel business.
Visit a local hotel or bed and breakfast to observe the check-in process. If possible, set up an appointment with a desk clerk or manager for an information interview.
