Download or read book Heads in Beds written by Jacob Tomsky and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Kitchen Confidential and Waiter Rant, a rollicking, eye-opening, fantastically indiscreet memoir of a life spent (and misspent) in the hotel industry. “Highly amusing."—New York Times Jacob Tomsky never intended to go into the hotel business. As a new college graduate, armed only with a philosophy degree and a singular lack of career direction, he became a valet parker for a large luxury hotel in New Orleans. Yet, rising fast through the ranks, he ended up working in “hospitality” for more than a decade, doing everything from supervising the housekeeping department to manning the front desk at an upscale Manhattan hotel. He’s checked you in, checked you out, separated your white panties from the white bed sheets, parked your car, tasted your room-service meals, cleaned your toilet, denied you a late checkout, given you a wake-up call, eaten M&Ms out of your minibar, laughed at your jokes, and taken your money. In Heads in Beds he pulls back the curtain to expose the crazy and compelling reality of a multi-billion-dollar industry we think we know. Heads in Beds is a funny, authentic, and irreverent chronicle of the highs and lows of hotel life, told by a keenly observant insider who’s seen it all. Prepare to be amused, shocked, and amazed as he spills the unwritten code of the bellhops, the antics that go on in the valet parking garage, the housekeeping department’s dirty little secrets—not to mention the shameless activities of the guests, who are rarely on their best behavior. Prepare to be moved, too, by his candor about what it’s like to toil in a highly demanding service industry at the luxury level, where people expect to get what they pay for (and often a whole lot more). Employees are poorly paid and frequently abused by coworkers and guests alike, and maintaining a semblance of sanity is a daily challenge. Along his journey Tomsky also reveals the secrets of the industry, offering easy ways to get what you need from your hotel without any hassle. This book (and a timely proffered twenty-dollar bill) will help you score late checkouts and upgrades, get free stuff galore, and make that pay-per-view charge magically disappear. Thanks to him you’ll know how to get the very best service from any business that makes its money from putting heads in beds. Or, at the very least, you will keep the bellmen from taking your luggage into the camera-free back office and bashing it against the wall repeatedly.

Download or read book The Leap Stories written by Kylie Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Leap Stories: Intimate Interviews On Overcoming Fear, Choosing Courage Over Comfort, and Designing a Fulfilling Career asks 12 Australians who have made a leap in their working lives exactly how and why they did it -- practically, strategically, financially and emotionally. Based on her popular blog of the same name, Kylie Lewis shines a spotlight on a dozen different ways to rethink a career and to reinvent a livelihood, despite feelings of fear. From resigning a job without a clear plan of what do to next; moving to a new country for employment; pursuing a long-held business idea; to taking a sabbatical or recommencing study later in life.Each interviewee's leap may not have been instant or dramatic: it may instead have been a series of small hops over a period of time; some sideways sliding, a little backwards and forwards cha cha, or it could have been an almighty bungy jump. The common theme, however, is honesty, intention and above all, courage in the face of fear. Comprising six updated interviews from the Leap Stories blog alongside six brand new interviews, The Leap Stories hopes to inspire readers to explore hunches, scratch those itches, back themselves, have a crack and do more than just entertain the possibility of 'what if'.

Book Synopsis An Accidental Hotelier by : Roy Cook
Download or read book An Accidental Hotelier written by Roy Cook and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you hear the word, hotel, what comes to mind? Do you think about traveling, glamour, glitz, excitement, fun-filled weekends, vacations, business trips, or maybe living out of a suitcase? Or, do you think about jobs, opportunities, careers, long hours and maybe even working on weekends and holidays? Any of these thoughts would be correct because the hotel business is a twenty-four hour, seven day week people oriented business; and, with that comes the good and bad of working with people, both guests and co-workers.Because of the "fun-filled" perceptions and "pleasant memories" commonly associated with hotels, many individuals who say "I love people" or "I want to work in a fun environment" are attracted to both jobs and careers in this business. And, the demand for qualified management talent in this ever growing segment of the tourism industry never seems to be quenched.Working in this business is nothing like the predictability found in an eight-to-five job, stuck in the confines of a "cookie cutter cubicle". As you will discover, you should learn to expect the unexpected. You can take a vicarious visit into this age-old business from just a few of the hundreds of stories that can be told, from funny and sad to exciting and intriguing.Story-telling is an age-old method of passing on knowledge by bringing reality into the learning experience. A story well told paints a vivid visual picture, sparking imagination and interest. In the tradition of story-telling focused on learning, this book is filled with a variety of situations encountered along a successful journey, filled with some stumbles, up the career ladder in the hotel industry.The stories and the details surrounding these events have been especially selected with a purpose in mind. They have been selected not only to serve as realistic job previews for anyone considering a career in the hotel business, but they have also been selected because they provide learning opportunities for every aspiring hotelier no matter where they are in their career. Hopefully, these stories will spark your imagination. You may enjoy reading this book just for the fun of it, or, if you are planning a career in the hotel business, it will provide you with some valuable insights into the business.
