F. Work Atmosphere and Interpersonal Relation

During the practicum, trainees were scheduled for orientation with the

assigned employee. In this we were trained to ask questions, informed where

and whom to contact if there are problems occurs. As trainees, we were

scheduled to tour on the properties of the hotel, department heads in every

division and were briefed with our duties and responsibilities including the

policies and benefits of employees. We were taught on how to fill up work

book and diaries.

During my practicum training, I tried my best to be cheerful and smiles

at strangers or guest in order to attract and protect the image of the hotel. We

exhibit sincerity in my doings, ever courteous to our costumers. The generous

use of words coupled with good ethics and etiquette is being provided in order

to have frequent hospitable atmosphere. Not all are created equally attractive

but all can do there best to be neat. Many department in a hotel required

Their trainees and employees to wear their uniforms. In the hotel, the

knowledge on foreign language is valuable.

To be successful in the business venture of a hotel, all workers or

employees in a hotel in all phases of the business hotel must be courteous

and friendly, efficient and prompt, attractively attired and neat and should be

proficient in English and Foreign language.

 For me, my practicum training is enjoyable because the employees of

the hotel including my co-trainees are all good to work with.
