Currently a freshman at City Tech. My academic goals is to learn more about hospitality and going into depth information about culinary courses, in other words taking it a bigger step. Participated in the C-CAP program, where they offer high school students the opportunity to do hands-on work, such as job training, job shadows, spring/summer internships, including the opportunity to get a scholarship. Throughout C-CAP, I earned the opportunity to participate in two internships, one savory, one pastry, and achieve a scholarship. As of career goals, I hope to one day open a small bakery, and with time, build up my restaurant. With my previous jobs, I have gained personal strengths such as, knowing how to exceed a challenge, as well as time management. A personal interest of mine is being a soccer team member, being in a sport can relate to my professional attributes by collaborating with others within the team. When you are working with a large group, you must collaborate with others to become a better, bigger and stronger team.

Hello all!

My name is Jessica. I’m always happy or smiling, I try to have a positive outlook even when times are rough. One thing about me is that I’m a hard worker and I will always go above and beyond to make sure the guest leaves feeling that their needs and wants were met. Ultimately my career goal is to work at JFK or any airport, where ever the wind takes me.

Hello all!

My name is Jessica. I was once a student at SUNY Delhi but transferred to City Tech because I wasn’t doing so well academically. School was something that was always hard for me, sitting down for long periods of times drives me crazy *so you can imagine how nuts I go in these two and a half hour lectures*. My mentality was “Hey, D’s get degrees” so I would do the bare minimum, I’m trying to change that. For my first semester at City Tech I’m aiming for A’s & B’s. No more slacking or procrastination. I’m trying to prove to myself that I’m better then once was. All my work experience has mostly been dealing with food. When I first started college I went in thinking that I wanted to be a chef and boyyy did that change quick. I worked in my first restaurant for a week at Bar Boulud in Lincoln Square and immediately quit. I couldn’t handle being spoken to by the chefs like some idiot. The day after I quit I called my advisor at school and switched my major to hotel and resort management. I have yet to actually work in either setting but in the end of it all I want to be able to work in an airport. Not sure as to what position but anything that can help me travel the world at a cheaper price will be great! As for personal strengths I’m not to sure what they are, I believe that I’m still in the awkward stage of life where I try to find myself. One thing for sure though is that my work ethic is great *or at least I think so* I’d love to channel that same energy into my schoolwork. In my place of work I’m usually known to go above and beyond for not only the guest but also my coworkers. I try to make the best out of the situation and never let what happens in my personal life affect how I perform at work.

36 Hours in…Vancouver

Leave a reply

From the article I’ve read, Vancouver is a city definitely worth visiting and exploring. It is always evolving and has become a huge playground for artistic creativity. Whether it’s referring to food and fine dining, museums, its beautiful skyline over the coastline or the plethora of food markets. It seems to me like a breathtaking city and leaves a lot to the imagination. Like New York, Vancouver is a melting pot of different people, cultures and ethnicities and the the city caters to everyone. Being a food lover, there seems to be many different fusions and restaurants I would visit. And from what the article stated, it seems like a days out on the town won’t cost you a lot. It’s a great tourist spot if you are into learning and experiencing new things. I like the idea of just renting a bike to touch on different parts of the city to simply explore and be absolutely fulfilled.

Hello, I’m a freshman in the department of hospitality Management. Some of my personal strengths is to stay on task, work well as a team, quick learner, and able to adapt to new work environments. For insistence I’ve worked at a dining restaurant as a busser, a server at fast food restaurants, and an assistant cook at a pizzeria. My academic goal is to get my bachelor’s degree in Hospitality, and join clubs to boost my resume. My career goal is to work in a well know hotel and move up the rank in job positions like from the front desk up to general manager by using my personal strengths to get there. I enjoy helping others, I use to tutor students in math in my high school, I also volunteer at a religious group every Friday from 7:20pm- 9:30 pm and I’m bilingual. Over all I have had a lot of interactions with people and with all these experiences I believe it will help me and lead me to a bright successful future in the hotel management career.
