Personal Advantage
I really enjoy networking with people and my career highlight was when I got selected to work for a multinational hospitality company that was accommodating guests from all around the world throughout the just ended FIFA World Cup in Qatar. I am a very hands-on person who loves a challenge and I thrive working in a fast paced environment so I relish being the contact point for hundreds of guests daily.
