I was now responsible for finding the perfect front desk candidates. Interviewing,hiring,training,supervising; i never thought i could make a whole week's work of this. During my time as front office manager, i interviewed what seemed like a thousand people claiming to be my perfect candidate, i had to figure out what i wanted at the front desk;who i wanted representing our hotel. I learned much from observing other managers. I realized that i could train anyone how to use a computer,or how to operate the switchboard. I could not,however,turn someone into a "people person". So the quest was on for the best personalities i could find. I was determined to have the best front desk staff in the city.This delighted my general manager immensely. A year later, i moved 2 1/2 hours away to become the assistant general manager of a hotel within the same company. In this limited-service hotel, there is no sales department. There is no accounting.
