Advice on Hospitality Management School

[subfocus]

As you can all see the title says it all.
If any of you work or are currently studying (or have studied in the past) in this domain, it would be of huge help to get advice from your knowledge on how getting in the school, and, how to achieve the years following after I get accepted in the school ( of course if I get accepted ).
Thank you and best regards.

Flirt with your teachers and wear short skirts.

Flirt with your teachers and wear short skirts.

Fun fact: When I googled this picture, it led me to a Wikipedia-article. I had to approve that I'm okay with seeing inappropriate stuff (kinda expected that when I googled man with mini-skirt :p). Anyways, the article was about Economy, that made me laugh.

I'm not familiar with this Glion Institute, but glancing at their website, I think it tells you right there what they expect from applicants: "academic records, work experience if any, extracurricular activities, test scores and recommendations." I assume you've already completed all your studies, or are in your final year, so that's pretty much a done deal. If you don't currently have, or haven't in the past had, some sort of job in the industry, I'd suggest getting one. Just about anything should help.

What degree program are you interested in? And what eventual career?

As far as achievement once you've been accepted, well, it's the same as with any college career. Study (much of which you should take it upon yourself to pursue; it won't be assigned), dedication, relationship with instructors, don't party too much, yadda yadda. Generic and cliché, but true. Also, maintaining even a part-time job(s) in your particular field of study can help compliment and supplement your studies, since you're basically doing vocational training.

As far as achievement after graduation and into your career, well, again, I'd want to know what particular part of the industry you're getting into. 'Course, the schooling is going to provide you with a lot of what you need to know, that's the point. I would also assume they would have internships and/or job placement. Hospitality management and supervision? A lot of that basically boils down to HR and/or accounting—knowledge of relevant laws, people skills, and/or math. Most of that math is standard formulas, though, and these days there's a lot of good specialized software for that. P&L's and whatnot. Stick to what's tried and true where that's concerned. In the Hospitality industry you're typically looking to climb the ol' ladder, not remain at the bottom rung with its low wages and benefits and crap hours, so how do you go about doing that. Too banal to say do your job well? And be as broad in that as possible; learn about and how to do things not only in your own narrow subset of the Hospitality industry, but elsewhere as well. Make yourself valuable. This also has the benefit later if and when you get into a management position, you can better relate to your employees, especially if you're running a large operation. Form relationships and connections—that's a general rule for most fields, since so many opportunities come that way. Also, getting involved in activities related to but outside of your job is always helpful in advancing your career and standing. Benefits, for example. Kinda the working world's version of extracurricular activities, heh.
