It’s not uncommon for job seekers to overlook opportunities in the hospitality, tourism and/or seasonal work industries, because they believe they’re not long-term, lack stability or are thankless in nature. But how true is this? In this episode, we dispel some myths around working in these sectors, explore the advantages, the likelihood of it leading to permanent positions, what kinds of people these sectors are looking for and the jobs that are available. Niki LaFemina, Director, Talent & Culture at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, joins us.Links referenced in this episode:Tourism & Hospitality Hiring Fair, November 25: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/tourism-and-hospitality-hiring-fair-tickets-177357219217?fbclid=IwAR0nYGcSuBaJoTmaQINffOXoS6KmNVOCQVYfXBLC0HJaWavgNY-KHvttg3gTechLink Info Session: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/ywca-techlink-info-session-nov-19-23-26-free-work-experience-program-tickets-203431478027Creating Effective Resumes Workshop: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/creating-effective-resumes-a-free-virtual-workshop-tickets-168150449521Find your local WorkBC Centre: https://www.workbc.ca/Employment-Services/WorkBC-Centres/Find-Your-WorkBC-Centre.aspx
