    Good customer service is the key to success for any business, but it is especially important within the hotel/hospitality industry. A bad customer service experience can lead to the refusal to return to that hotel or even write up negative reviews, thus preventing potential customers from staying there. But a good customer service experience can push that customer to come back and even spread the word and recommend that hotel to others. Keeping hotel guests happy is one of the main priorities of the hospitality industry. After all, it is the hospitality industry. Simple things really go a long way such as thank-yous in person, or remembering a guest's name. The hotel desk clerk is essentially the hotel gate-keeper; they provide the customer with a first and last impression of the whole experience. Thus, the success of a hotel can rely on the desk clerks' (or any employee's) knowledge of the property, how courteous they are, and the extent to which they can help any problems that arise in the guest's hotel experience.…

    Before a helper sees his or hers client it is crucial to prepare the physical setting. The helper must take all steps in preparing the setting beforehand because it is extremely important for the client to feel comfortable and relaxed in order to establish a trusting relationship (Woodside & McClam, 2012). Another step for the helper to take before meeting a client is to prepare for note taking. Human service workers must take extensive notes for record of every client. Each worker may have their own preferred method of note taking but this is a skill that is necessary for success in this field. It is the human service workers duty to create an environment or climate of respect and acceptance (Woodside & McClam, 2012). It is very important the worker greets the client with a smile and a hand shake, along with an “ice breaker” to allow the client to feel as comfortable as possible. The first impression the helper has on the client is crucial. These steps and preparations can be seen as skills that are necessary to the start of a successful delivery of services (Woodside & McClam,…

    Throughout the course I have been reading short stories by O.Henry like “The Cop and the Anthem,” “The Gift of the Magi,” “A Retrieved Reformation,” and The Last Leaf.” The theme in each story is different because in every story they talk about something different. The theme in “The Cop and the Anthem” is live life calm and peacefully. Then the theme in “The Gift of the Magi” is carrying for your love person. Next the theme in “A Retrieved Reformation” live your life calm and responsibly. Finally the theme in “The Last Leaf” is regret fullness and carrying for some one. In “The Cop and the Anthem” and “A Retriever Reformation” they kind of have the same theme because in both of the stories the characters were inspire to change like Soapy was inspire to change his life and much like Jimmy Valentine was after meeting Annabel Adams. Also in “The gift of the Magi” and “The Last Leaf” there theme relates because the characters sacrifice a valuable possession like to buy one another a gift for Christmas and the other it shows a character willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for a very sick friend. Those themes could apply to many people because the things that happen in the short stories I read by O.Henry could happen in anybody’s life because they aren’t non-fiction. O.Henry wants to give a good message to people by putting a love story like “The Gift of the Magi” where Della and Jim are a great couple who sacrifice there more valuable possession for one another because they really love each other. Sometimes he gives a lesson like to don’t do that because living or doing that won’t let us be a great person in our lives or even be someone in the world. In “The Cop and the Anthem” Soapy is the main character who is a poor old man that doesn’t have any luck and he is homeless. He use to live in the Madison Square Park and slept on a bench. Soapy wanted to go to jail because it was going to be time of winter and it will be starting to get cold so he rather spend three…

    1.1 There are many purposes to a receptionist role especially being the first point of call between the company and the client/supplier. Being the first point of call is an important role because it helps the whole company. When a customer/supplier comes in a receptionist can get the correct member of staff for the person. Also it ensures that somebody knows who is in the building and has got them to sign in so the company had a record and it’s easier for people to be accounted for in cases of emergency. In some businesses the receptionists make appointments for the other staff for customers/suppliers to come in. They also take the call and pass it to the right person. Being a smaller company we do not have somebody that has been employed as a receptionist but because of where my desk is placed I have adopted the role. In this role I have to welcome people into the building, make sure that they sign in and offer them a drink. I also find out who they are here to see or do. If they want to collect goods I can pass them on if the girls in sales are busy but if they are here for a meeting or chat I let the member of staff know.…
