My expectations for gaining new hospitality business experience this semester is to gain experience in a hotel setting and to learn as much as I can about the hotel industry.

THIRD SECTION:
My responsibilities as a Front Desk Agent are answering the telephones, welcoming guests as they walk by, and checking guests in and out. While checking a guest in we are required to include important details. These include seeing a picture id as well as a valid credit card, confirming with the guest their type of room and length of stay, obtaining a telephone number and email address, using their name a minimum of once, telling them my name. Checking out a guest also requires important details. We have to use the guests name a minimum of once, tell them our name, ask how their stay was, as if we should use the credit card on file to pay the bill, ask if they would like another copy of the receipt, thank them for staying with us, and ask if we can make them a reservation for the future. At this point I also ask if they are a part of the Wyndham Rewards Club and explain that by joining the club they will be able to earn points towards a free nights stay or for gift cards to purchase other items of their

    Despite three consecutive years of growth in lodging revenue, Amber Inn & Suites realized four consecutive unprofitable years, and projections show the fifth year will continue the downward trend. Amber Inn & Suites target market is the business traveler. According to American Hotel and Lodging Association, one-half of all guests are business travelers and one-half are for leisure or family vacations (Kerin and Peterson, 2007). The business travelers largely occupy rooms during the weekday from one to three days, whereas the leisure or family vacationers occupy rooms over weekends from one to three days. Additionally a corporate analysis shows business travelers will decrease by 2 percent, adversely pleasure/vacation travelers will increase by 1 percent. The challenge for Amber Inn & Suites’ SLT is to create a marketing and advertising expenditures to expand occupancy of family and leisure vacationers, while maintain their core business traveler. Additionally, they have to decide whether to revamp the frontier strategy initiated in 2005 to grow brand awareness in the South West. Lastly, they must agree whether the -25 percent weekend rate special promotion that replaced the weekend free night stay is achieving the desired goal.…

    ¨By making college unaffordable and student loans unbearable, we risk deterring our best and brightest from pursuing higher education and securing a good-paying job.¨ - Mark Pocan. I agree with this quote, very much it just simply is correct. Frankly, until this happens people are stuck working a few years before pursuing a higher education and going to college. Unless someone plays a sport or is academically superior the chances of going to college for free is slim to none. I personally believe for the majority of people it would be in their best interest to put off school because it will give them the time they need to save enough money, if you are burnt out from high school, work on yourself.…

    Going back to my best year! Sophomore year was the year I had to get myself together and stop acting so amateur, it was the year I start acting like an adult. Therefore It was a great year for me. My sophomore year was not like other teenagers, I had many downfalls, but that didn't stop me from accomplishing my goals. Around this time I wanted to try a sport for the first time, so I tried out for the wrestling team, but they didn't work out so well. Sophomore year I didn't make any new friends, cause I don't like making new friends, it's just too much. My day one friends stayed the same, these are the people who have been through hell and back with me. I didn't learn how to drive my tenth grade year, because I was procrastinating. I was skipping school and getting into…

    Throughout high school, I’ve always heard that senior year would be the easiest, most fun year- the year when you could just lay back and enjoy yourself. Unfortunately, and though I know it is mostly by my own doing, I have not found it to be my easiest year at all. College, senior project, all on top of four AP classes have made senior year my most stressful yet. Though at this point I think the worst is over, it certainly has been one crazy autumn.…

    For the past two years, I have worked as a tutor at the Rutgers Writing Center as a “minimalist tutor.” Anthony Lioi, author of “Small Victories: The Practice and Process of Tutoring,” defines minimalist tutoring as “a method that requires students to solve their own problems under the supervision of a tutor who acts as a coach, a more experienced peer, rather than an editor” (Lioi, 1). At Rutgers, minimalist tutoring works in conjunction with The New Humanities Reader, which was put together by Kurt Spellmeyer and Richard E. Miller and has as its goal the promotion of “connective” as opposed to “mimetic” thinking. Lioi offers the clearest distinction between connective and mimetic thinking when he says, “’mimetic thinking,’ [is] designed to demonstrate mastery of a pre-established realm of knowledge, and ‘connective thinking,’… links disparate realms of learning in new and unexpected patterns to solve problems unanticipated by traditional forms of knowledge” (Lioi 1). To this end, minimalist tutors are trained in a “hands off” method that emphasizes the importance of giving students exploratory writing exercises to do on their own during the tutoring session and discourages the practice of “correcting” students’ papers to “create a ‘perfect’ paper” (2). In my time at the Writing Center, I worked with many students and had much success with the minimalist tutoring methods. However, sometimes with some students, I did not seem to be very effective. I was never sure why the tutoring did not seem to be helping these students, and I couldn’t tell what, if anything, they had in common with each other that would make minimalist tutoring less effective. I was often tempted to break the “rules” of minimalist tutoring and to apply a more hands-on approach, but I was afraid I would be even less useful to them if I did. Finally, I was faced with a student who simply was not getting anywhere with the…
