My Splendid Housekeeping Experience

Queen's University Residence Hall @ Elms Village

Europa Hotel

I was seriouly so nervous right before the exams started few months ago,it's not because i did'n prepared enough for the exams,but I was nervous to not get any job offers :at that time.( and of course ,the fact dat  booked the CHEAPEST return air ticket  with AirAsia ~280GBP will only fly me home in August :((((  ) after applying so much and been rejected so many times.I can't imagine how I wud spend  the summer without having any job here,yeah,I was thinking maybe I will go home with empty hand~

Alhamdulillah not long before the exams started,I found an advertisement from Elms Village calling for students to work on various position over the summer,I applied for the "Housekeeping Cleaner "  position since I thought it would be an easy job and suit me pretty well,I was then received a  call for interview on the same day I submit my application,,hihihih.. (kerje cleaner pon nk interview ke??hihihi..

When the exams started,I still not receive any offer letter for the job I'd applied,so I decided to find another job..Again,got rejected by Wellington Hotel :( which is located very near to my house (and it is actually stand on right in front of my school building ),I decided to give a try at Europa Hotel when I found vacancy online,and downloaded an application form.I walked-in to Europa Hotel after writing 1 page of essays and filling all particulars they need !(#_@).The next day,I was informed via phone about the date of my interview..i was like  waaaa,,interview againn!.. 

And not long after that,I got an offer letter to work at Elms Village (@_@)..happy enuff,and I still have another interview to go,,-which I eventually did quite ok,and YESS got the 'housekeeping cleaner job at Europa hotel.Initially,I was a wee bit in dilemma to choose between those two.The former offer a  bit higher wages but for only 5 weeks contract,while the latter offer a bit lower wages but for continous casual employment.After asking around for helps and advice from close acquaintances,I decided to work for the former first,and the latter later on .

So far,I enjoy both works very much  :)) especially when I gotta meet a lot of people from various background and nationalities( Oohh,I just love to make more n more friends!).The job task between the two are pretty much the same .The only difference is that working at the hotel is a real job where I got to be serious and commited since it will reflect the  business as a whole.

I was kinda surprised to see so many different European nationalities working there (which they all really look alike to each other,at first,I can't really tell a Polish or an Irish when they din speak).They work very hard and fast which stunned me so many time!(They always finish very early and got plenty time to rest and relax  !)There are some people who are very friendly especially the Filipinos and Romanian,and there are some not at all.There are very stiff competition at the my workplace especially when its the time to chase for towels at laundry room.Working at Europa has help me to always be alert and manage my time wisely between doing the bed and cleaning the rooms,having break,and to get towels,bed linen,filling the pantry,hoovering and mopping.It is really a challenging job! and yes it is not as easy as i thought it was.

After all,working help me to  appreciate the feelings of ooo-its-so-hard-to-earn-a -penny, and  control my biggest lust > S.H.O.P.P.I.NG.- for-unnecessary-things,and indeed it has driven me to  think about the future and savings.More importantly,I got to expose myself with the real bussiness thingy ,gotta deal with people with different kind of personalities,n as well as taking responsibilities on my job.Syukur,I'm so glad to be granted the opportunity to work for a good reputation company.And it is not all about money,because the experience is so worth it! :)
