Hello,
I’m Melinda a 22 year old student from Hong Kong. I was studying in Singapore
for the past four years at Informatics Academy. Last year I graduated from the
University of Central Lancashire with a BA (Hons) Management in Hospitality. Upon
graduating I relocated to Shanghai, sending out my curriculum vitae to several
employers. I found it challenging trying to find a job; however, through
previous work experience, including a 6-month internship at the Singapore
Mandarin Orchard hotel and knowledge gained during my degree, I managed to
receive offers from Shanghai Disney resort and the Marriott City Centre Hotel. I
really enjoy working at the Marriott Hotel in the executive lounge. I am enthusiastic
to carry out my role and liaise with clients and guests. Initially I found the
role challenging and it required me to think on my feet and adapt my problem
solving skills. My manager and colleagues encouraged me throughout the process
and after a short time I adapted to my new working environment and my
confidence grew.
In December 2015, one evening at work brought
a very pleasant surprise! I was on the front desk and was amazed to see Louisa
Jones, my professor from UCLan who awarded me my graduation certificate. We
were both delighted to meet each other again and I told her my plans and
visions for my future career.
