I have recently been hired by Trump International Hotel in Chicago as the hotel manager. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and have always dreamed in becoming a hotel manager for such a prestige hotel industry. The building is 92 stories and is a structure of stainless steel and showcases a bold style and engaging design. As a hotel manager, I am to deliver friendly, efficient customer service and to create a welcoming atmosphere to all guests. I must also supervise, train and motivate others that work with me, my main goal is to retain as well as attract new customers. Trump hotels are known for their top notch design, as their founder Donal Trump is known for being someone whom know what he wants.
Donald trump has used his success not only to focus on expanding to places such as Scotland and Hawaii, but he has also ventured into television with “The Apprentice”, a successful television series that sparked the whole “You’re fired” phenomenon. His son Eric Trump is actually executive VP of development and acquisitions which just shows the dedicated nature he has bestowed on his children. His son plans on having a “30/20” plan in which the goal is to have 30 operating hotels by 2020. The dedication that they bestow upon their brand shows in their actions as well as their organizations.
The first time I stepped into a Trump building was when I was in Atlantic city, Although it is what you would consider a low end hotel, the people that worked in the organization were still trying their best to accommodate my stay there. This made me want to look into the hotel industry as a career. The “Better” lines in the Trump hotels are very high end and I am proud to be affiliated with such a line. Now that I have worked my way up to being hired as a Hotel manager, what I hope to accomplish would be to maintain the appeal that it has already achieved and further the clientele for the future. When people speak of the Ritz-Carlton, they should also speak of the Trump International Hotel in Chicago in the same light. Luxury and hospitality should be hand in handy and that will be present within my hotel.

Right on the boardwalk and right next to Steel Pier.t’s an amusement Park in case anyone was wondering what Steel Pier was.
