Education
Advice from Jonas Andersen
Quotes about career path, skills, and teamwork from an industry leader.
I knew I would continue with hospitality the moment I took a desk job.
Some people are just not built to sit and stare at a screen all day.
I do find it important to learn new things to stay up-to-date.
Luckily, part of educating yourself as a hospitality worker means going out to restaurants and bars. I also try to visit the nearest wine regions as often as possible. Whenever I need some time out of the city, I go to a wine region.
It has become so easy so educate yourself online.
Never mind the certificate or diploma just learn something new.
When hiring hospitality professionals, I look for people that we as a team can trust and rely on.
Working 6 months on a vineyard was probably one of the most giving work experiences I have ever had.
I did not appreciate it at all for the first few months; it was before dawn, it was cold, long hours and very monotone manual work. But it taught me how much work it takes to grow wine grapes and gave me a respect for the product and an understanding that good wine grows in beautiful places. Also, sitting on a vineyard, eating your lunch while looking at lakes, long tree lines, and kangaroos jumping around, is pretty amazing.
