About Candidate

I am currently working as the Front Office Manager for Earl’s Regent Hotel, Sri Lanka, managed by Aitken Spence. I have been offered this position as and when I landed in Sri Lanka after completing the FIFA project in Qatar, which was a short term contract from Accor Hospitality as Duty Manager.

Furthermore I have nine and half years of experience working in the most renowned five star hotel in the central region of Sri Lanka, the Earl’s Regency hotel (www.aitkenspencehotels.com/earlsregency). I joined as a trainee receptionist in 2013 and was promoted duly as the Front office executive and acting head of the department. I fine-tuned my management skills and various other leadership skills by managing the front office department efficiently and effectively despite the non-availability of any other executive or HOD for the front office department. I have been applauded by the senior management for achieving the rooms division budget and maintaining the online rankings of the hotel, furthermore I have been recognized for my creativity in marketing and graphic designing skills. My duties also included guest complaint handling, monitoring online ranking, room reservations handling, training new employees on front office procedures and helping the management to create schedules. It was my job to make sure the team was performing according to the standards and regulations of the company. One of the core duties was overlooking the Front Office operations to have a smooth working environment.

I am very observant and pay attention to what is going on in the surrounding. I have the skills to recognize a potential problem and the ability to take steps to handle it before it becomes a major issue.
I have excellent communication, time management and problem solving skills. I have the ability to deal with unhappy customers or unusual situations when they arise in a professional manner without becoming stressed or upset. I also understand the importance of treating customers with respect and creating a friendly and welcoming environment, so I made sure that all my team members provided excellent customer service.

Thank you and best regards!
