Aim at working for at least 2-5 years in a job to give yourself a chance to grow in your current organization. This will help you network with the owners, managers and employees of your establishment and better understand different aspects of the business. Jumping from one job to another in a few months does not look good on your CV. The trust quotient of our clients for candidates who switch jobs too fast and too often is very low.

Just because you are placed in a particular department does not mean you should not focus on other aspects of the hospitality industry. Go above and beyond your job description and keep yourself updated with the latest trends in the hospitality industry especially in the region your are currently working and interested in working in the future. Pro activeness and initiative do not go unnoticed or unrewarded.
Hoteliers around the world set very high standards for themselves and so should you.

The grass may seem greener on the other side but do not give into the temptation. I have received applications from candidates just 2 months into their new job with reputed hotels simply because a new prospect seems more promising than the current job they have in hand. Be patient and give yourself time for organic growth.
