I want to have my intership in a hotel, no prob if I have to pay. I took up culinary arts but, didnt have any OJT yet. thanks.

Answer 1

You can try any of the 5-star, 4-star or 3-star hotels all over Metro Manila. If you're school didn't arrange it for you, or if they don't have any arrangements with any hotel yet, it's up to you to contact the hotels you want.

It would be just like applying for a job, except that, you'll be an OJT. If you're lucky, some hotels would even give you 'allowance' for being their OJT, though you would also incur some expenses like for uniform, ID, food, transpo, etc.

Usually, you'll have to give them a copy of your resume (personally or via email on their website). If you pass their initial screening, or if they still have vacancies for OJTs (believe me, most hotels have a limit to the number of OJTs they would take), they would contact you, and schedule you for an initial screening which can either be a written test or first interview. Then you'll have a final interview. The procedure varies from hotel to hotel. Make sure you are dressed properly, bring copies of your resume, ID photos (1x1 or 2x2), working pen, and your IDs.

Do you still need a list of hotels in Manila? Just do a search on the net, and you'll find their websites and contact numbers/emails.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Most schools would have a tie up with hotels for an OJT. If there's none , try browsing in the net for hotels or restaurants that will give an OJT. Send a resume and a good introduction letter to them, telling them your interest in joining them as a trainee.

Good luck.

Answer 3

I wonder why your school didn't arrange for your OJT, when they really should have. Anyway, the first thing to do is list down the hotels you prefer to have your OJT in. Then, send out your résumé with your application letter to these hotels. I know most, if not all, hotels accept trainees continuously.

Answer 4

You can try Sofitel Philippine Plaza. Most of their staff in Spiral are OJTs.

Answer 5

Please try Sulo Hotel behind the Quezon City Hall. I had my OJT there during my college days when I took up Accounting as my Major subject.
Good luck!

Answer 6

first, browse over the net for good hotels then check if they accept ojt's or not. you could email or call them to inquire. then try submitting your resume on line or by going there personally.
