Amelia Humber has worked in the hospitality industry all her life, and she

now (run) her own Bed and Breakfast. Amelia Humber: I (start)

working in hotels at a very early age, initially as a chambermaid to earn some extra

money whilst I (be) at school. I (leave) school at 16 and started

working fulltime, but the long hours (mean) that I knew I was going to

have to do some further education if I (not want) to be stuck doing such

hard work for the rest of my career. I (go) back to college and did an NVQ

in hospitality which (teach) me the business side of the practical work I

(do) . After this I started working as a receptionist at a hotel, and gradually

(gain) more and more responsibility in my job. I (begin) to learn

more about the money aspect of running a hotel, and (teach) how to cash

up and how to delegate money to various departments. I (work) in this

position for a number of years and (earn) the trust and respect of my

employers. I was later (award) with an assistant housekeeper job, which

can (liken) to vocational training, and I (learn) skills on the job

which went towards a diploma in hotel management. After a few years in this

position, I left the company and (join) the hotel chain Novotel, and after

working as an assistant position for a year, I (promote) to head

housekeeper. This was a very demanding job and I was unable to remain in the

position fulltime once I (have) children, but I replaced this with a job share

and (return) to fulltime work once the kids (be) all at school. After 15

years of being back in this position my husband and I (decide) to turn our

house into a Bed and Breakfast and make our money out of the spare rooms we

now (have) available after the children (leave) . I (not be able)

to make this decision if I (not have) the experience of being a

housekeeper. The job of a housekeeper (be) demanding as you have to be

great with people but willing to stand your own ground. It is very rewarding

though, and if you (do) it well you (receive) a huge amount of

satisfaction from the job.
