Job opportunities for hospitality managment graduates

JOBS PROSPECTS FOR HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT GRADUATES
FUELED BY BUILDING BOOM IN ASIA

Students and prospective graduates from hospitality colleges have excellent chances to find satisfying careers in the hospitality or tourism industry.
This confidence is based on the trends of an un-abating building boom of hotels and resorts in tourism and business destinations in Asia. These will serve an ever-growing multitude of business travelers and a well-to-do population in industrialized countries, which can afford regular foreign holidays. These trends are supported also by full order books for the airlines manufacturing industry that produce larger and more fuel-efficient aircraft, which in turn make travel to destinations more inexpensive.
Within the next two years, more than 40000 new branded hotel rooms in 200 hotels, built by GHM, Swissotels, Mandarin Oriental, Mövenpick, Shangri-La, Traders, Radisson, Country Inns & Suites, Park Plaza, Regent, Marriott, Hyatt and Starwood Hotels, are coming on stream. It is estimated, that these new businesses require as many as 80000 employees. Further, many entrepreneurs will open businesses that compliment these hotels and local leisure and tourism industry and that in turn further increases the need for qualified staff. Also, many baby boomers that staffed the management floors of the international hotels industry are coming up for retirement, leaving management vacancies for educated and well-trained graduates. 
How can a prospective student or graduate prepare her/himself to obtain one of these jobs?
Send your resume to as many hotel companies as possible – maybe you have the know-how they are looking for. Further, apply at the job placement office of your school - there they coach prospective graduates how to handle telephone interviews, help prepare a video resume and ensure that students are ready to apply for a job in a well-prepared manner.  
Alternatively, for students wanting to avail of fees based job prospecting, there are many reputable employment agencies for jobs in regional or specialized hospitality markets. These agencies also help in preparing the extensive documentation as well as assistance with visa applications. Some of these entities specialize in time limited international internship positions and they select each year a number of graduates in specific countries.  
Lastly, we recommend that prospective job seekers apply for their first job as early as possible, this to avoid a waiting period after their graduation.

Remember, the early bird…

How International students in Switzerland profit
from SWISS paid training

APPLY NOW

BHMS Swiss Hotel Schools is pleased to announce that the Supervisory Commission of the Swiss Association of Swiss Hospitality Industry has allowed BHMS to offer its students paid supervised Swiss Industry Training in the Swiss Hospitality industry for six months in each school year.
Swiss Industry Training is mainly about the development of students and it will be instrumental for their success in their early careers. Students do well not to solely look at the salary offer, but should concentrate equally on other benefits the internship offers.

1. Hands-on working experience

Allows a student to learn how to interact and to communicate effectively with customers and fellow employees in a live working environment.

2. Learn to execute orders

By learning to understand and execute orders(and being corrected if they are not done as expected) students learn how to interact with their supervisors and learn how to effectively give orders to their staff when they have advanced to their first supervisory job.

3. Find out their limits

Working intensive, having to concentrate on the job at hand and still being able to smile has to be learnt. After some initial struggles to do this, students are surprised on how resilient they are and how to smile under adverse conditions becomes second nature.

4. Build their CV

Over the typical tree years up to graduation with a bachelor degree in Hotel & Hospitality Management, students will have accumulated three internships, hopefully in different departments and in three different hospitality businesses in Switzerland.  This will have given them an insight on how businesses or departments are run, they will have experienced diverse management styles and will have gained substantial product knowledge and business ideas, an aspect employers’ value greatly.

5. Earn an income

Last but not least, students earn each month a gross salary of CHF 2,168. From this salary they will have to pay for accommodation (normally provided by the employer) board, taxes and other deductions. The average net income each month is from CHF 1,200 to CHF 1,400. In some positions students also have the opportunity to earn tips.
