Types of hospitality jobs
If you’re wondering how to get a job in hospitality, you’re on track to a great career journey! The industry offers a range of different job roles with many opportunities for career growth.
Here are just some of few hospitality jobs:
- Bar staff
- Kitchen staff
- Cleaners
- Gaming staff
- Waiters
- Managers
- Receptionists
Bar Staff
Bar work is a popular hospitality job for Uni students and people who have busy day time schedules. Due to bars being busier at night and on weekends, bar staff have more spare time during the week for study or to care for kids, for example.
In addition, getting a job working behind a bar can be as easy as completing your RSA and having a sharp resume.
Gaming Staff
Gaming staff are as sought after as bar staff, especially during the peak Summer periods. Working in a gaming room will often mean late nights, which is also more suitable for some lifestyles. In addition, you get the chance to form some great friendships with regular customers. For some patrons, seeing gaming staff is the highlight of their day!
Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? But how do you get a hospitality job in a gaming room? If you haven’t already, we recommend completing your RSA, Basic Gaming and Advanced Gaming training. Your resume will definitely stand out to potential employees if you have those 3 qualifications.
Kitchen Staff
Working in a kitchen is also another great hospitality job. Especially if you’re wanting to start from the bottom and really progress your career as a chef. In addition, venues require extra kitchen staff in peak periods as their kitchens also get much busier during these times.
If you’re passionate about cooking and want a career working within a kitchen, a Certificate 3 in Commercial Cookery would be a great step to take in getting you there.
