Staff Spotlight Tell us a little more about your journey with Long Pocket Weddings & Events? I joined the team at Long Pocket I Weddings & Events in 2012 as the Poinciana Bar Supervisor. Whilst my primary role is to supervise the day to day operations of the Poinciana Bar I am involved with events/seminars from time to time. I have enjoyed learning about the operations of weddings and events and would love to expand my knowledge and experience in this area. What made you decided to start a career in events? My first experience within the hospitality industry was back of house as a Kitchen hand. I progressed to waitressing as I enjoy interaction with customers and also had an interest in food and beverage. My passion for the hospitality industry grew as I gained experience through other roles with additional responsibilities and then moved into a Supervisory position. What is your favorite aspect of your job? Satisfying customers and exceeding their expectations motivates me, receiving positive customer feedback is my favourite aspect of my job as well as interacting with many different people. In my position I am able to form good relationships with regular customers and members. What advice would you give to people wishing to enter the hospitality industry? Prepare yourself for a fast paced, challenging but rewarding industry. This is the perfect industry for people who are passionate about customer service and enjoy interacting with customers. Knowledge of food and beverage is helpful and makes communication easier.
