For anyone interested in customer service, managing a large group of people, and overseeing the operations and financial budget of a large-scale and service-oriented business, choosing to pursue a career in hotel management could be a great option.� Hotel managers are typically very high in demand with employers and are given a lot of responsibility and the freedom to run the hotel in their own fashion.� �To become a hotel manager, there are several things which you must do first. � Prior to getting a hotel management job, you will first need to get some form of formal education.� While it is not necessarily required by all hotels, most major hotel operators now prefer that their managers have a bachelor's degree in either hospitality management or a related field.� While in school you will take a number of different courses which are geared towards operating a hotel.� These classes can include marketing, managing employees, budgeting, and other business related courses.� While in school it may be beneficial for you to find a part-time or summer job working at a hotel so you can have a more practical understanding of what it takes to keep a hotel running. � After completing your education the next step to getting a job as a hotel manager would be to start working for a hotel.� Many national hotel chains have some form of a training or development program which focuses on developing new employees into managers.� These programs will start you lower in the ranks at the hotel, but will allow you to see all of the different jobs which go into managing a hotel.� Eventually, you will move into an assistant management position where you will oversee a group of people or a specific operation within the hotel. � After you have gained some experience and feel comfortable that you could manage a hotel on your own, it would be a good idea to start looking for a full-time management job.� In order to find a hotel management job, you should consider looking at smaller regional hotels which frequently are more willing to hire inexperienced managers.� Also, by being willing to move somewhere else you could improve your chances of finding a full-time hotel manager position.
