Where Do You Want to Be?
What are some of the things you want in your next job? A career? Security? Growth opportunities? Being rewarded financially for doing the work you love? If you're in the hospitality industry and are looking for a change, perhaps it's time to consider a segment of the industry that is growing leaps and bounds - timeshares.
Reach for Altitude!
How high you'll climb in the timeshare industry is determined by you. Now while that sounds like a cliché, in this case it's true. But do yourself a favor, before you apply to any random job that sounds as though it fits your niche, figure out what it is that you'd be best at. Once you land a job that is perfectly suited to you, you'll find satisfaction and career growth.
Are you happy within a corporate environment that offers both hotels and resorts? Then you may want to consider a company like Hilton Grand Vacation Club. With locations worldwide, you can experience business management on a global scale.
Do you prefer a smaller resort network where there will be more opportunity to take on responsibilities?
Or, do you want to dedicate yourself to the timeshare industry? Consider a company like Westgate resorts that only offers timeshares.
Find Opportunity on Your Computer
If you want to get a feel for the types of jobs that are available, look at online companies that sell timeshare. Locate the amenities listed on their websites and think about the jobs involved in these offerings. Do they have room service? They'll need a chef and kitchen workers. Do they offer a spa? They'll need an esthetician and a massage therapist. Some high-end resorts even offer incredibly personalized services for owners, such as a 24-hour private concierge.
Personalities Wanted
Thriving in a timeshare career means you are more than a "people person." In this industry you'll have the opportunity to get to know the owners as they return each year. This is more than a benefit for you, owners will both expect you to know them and be delighted when you remember important events in their lives.
In fact, timeshare sellers will often remark about the level of personal service they receive at their timeshare resort. It doesn't matter if it's a small, rural resort or a resort that caters to the uber wealthy; as a hospitality worker you know, it's the personal touches that matter.
