No experience is needed to work in entry-level positions, but those with prior work experience will increase their chances of landing a job, getting promoted, and possibly earning higher pay. High-level positions such as nurse or executive require previous work experience.
Resorts are service-oriented so employees are required to be courteous, helpful, and friendly at all times. They are expected to dress and behave properly at all times, even when they are not on call. Some resorts such as Disney World, for example, consider their employees as "the cast," and expect them to be on their best behavior when on stage (working hours).
Employees are expected to mix well with the resort patrons as well as with their coworkers. Only team players are needed in this industry.
