]]> Comment on More on Gen Y and the Hospitality Industry by Laura Lee http://www.bentleyprice.com/more-on-gen-y-and-the-hospitality-industry#comment-32 Laura Lee Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:18:24 +0000 http://www.bentleyprice.com/?p=653#comment-32 I love what you have written in your recent blog about entry-level hospitality positions being a window to a long-term career for Gen Y. In my opinion, to be successful in this global economy the hospitality and tourism industry has to remain on the cutting edge of technology; one of the strengths of this generation. Over the last several years we have seen tremendous growth in positions looking for a skill-set in social media, marketing and/or information technology. Hospitality is also a very creative industry. Food and beverage to hotel operations has to be ahead of the game with the hottest in food, wine, hotel design and technology. It is also a global business making diversity of thought very important. With most hospitality chains being global this gives Gen Y the opportunity to work their way up the ladder at various properties without having to change corporations. I’m Gen X and have been with my company going on 22 years but have held 8 different positions, in essence changing jobs every 2.75 years! I started in an entry-level at the front desk and am now a division vice president. I believe this generation has a great future in hospitality. My advice is to research the various hospitality companies out there and find one with a robust internal promotion program. Take that entry-level position; learn the various types of careers within the business to determine the best fit is for you and grow from there.
