"No, I don't have any previous hotel work experience, but hey, everybody's gotta start somewhere." When turning in an application at Super 8 in Concordia, KS in 2014.

 

"No, I don't have any previous hotel work experience, but hey, everybody's gotta start somewhere." When turning in an application at Super 8 in Concordia, KS in 2014.

How would that response come across on a hotel manager?

How does one get the needed previous hotel experience in the first place when even a bargain motel like Super 8 evidently requires prior hoteling experience?

She took my application, put it in a cabinet, and I never heard from her again.

I'm still waiting on a call for an interview, after turning in the application around June 2014. I'd have to tell them to transfer the application to the location of my current city as I hadn't lived in Concordia in over 10 years.

My preferred positions are front desk, monitoring security cameras, responding to online reviews and inquiries, updating the facilities' social media pages, and shuttle-driving guests to and from the hotel.

So what are some great ways to get my foot further in the door with the next motel or hotel that I apply to?
