Hotel Executive Housekeepers

Try to land a job in the field. You won't be hired as an executive housekeeper without experience, but you can land a position in the housekeeping department. This will give you a good chance to learn more about this career firsthand.

A hotel internship can give you a taste of the career without the pressures and obligations of a full-time job. Many recruiters pay more attention to former interns than to those with no past affiliation with the hotel.

Try to set up an information interview or a job shadowing experience with executive housekeepers to better understand their duties and learn about the rewards and challenges of their job.
