Motivation letter for a Doorman / hotel staff
Having a career as a Doorman can be more challenging than most of the people think. In fact, the Doorman is a person who is the first face who you will see entering a new building or going to a nice vacation at a hotel. He/she is a crucial in giving a first impression of the facility, but also of the company/building he work at! Also, a Doorman provides sense of security, takes care of the guests at the entrance, but also it can be very useful when it comes to introducing a new visitors to the people who are already at the building, so he/she can be very influential. Also, a successful doorman should be cordial, amiable and cheerful.
Duties and responsibilities
A good doorman should follow people from their entering the building. He/she should also take care of taxis, receive packages (including signing them), help with orientation and giving directions etc. It is extremely important for the doorman to take care of the safety of the building by observing suspicious behavior of different people or objects surrounding the building. His/her duties are different depending of its working placement (building, hotel, office etc). It is usual practice for the large hotels to employ doormen around the clock. Outside of season he/she should take care of the payment or the hotel garden, as usually that is the period of the year when the doormen have more free time as the hotels are semi full or with no guests at all.
Salaries
As the doormen are members of a union, the salary depends on the salary contracted between the union and the employers. But that is not all, as the doormen receive generous tips regularly.
