This morning I was still kinda in a funk. Shortly after arriving at work, I introduced myself to a lady working across the walkway from where I sit. We talked for a bit and I asked if she was the concierge or marketing rep for Westin. She said..."actually both". I told her about my desire to get my foot in the door at Westin and had applied for many positions but haven't heard anything.
Long story short, she said they were currently hiring for the same position as her and they were short staffed! Within five minutes, her boss came up to me and we talked briefly. I told her I check their web postings numerous times a day and felt sure I have applied for the position. She gave me her contact information and said she would pull up my resume and call me to set up an interview!!
Here is the job posting info (for those like my mom that I know want to know more...)
"To operationally fulfill the requests of our resort guests. Assists in-house guests with their pre-arrival planning in a friendly, proactive and efficient manner. VSCs are also full service agents for Starwood Activities, booking and issuing tickets for a variety of island vendors.

This process will include the following: contacting guest prior to arrival, confirming final plans with guests, maximizing tour flow and lead generation for The Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas, and other duties assigned by your immediate supervisor/manager that are necessary for your operation."
When I got home, I double checked the website and sure enough, I applied for that very job this morning! Thank you God for that encouragement. Now here's the interesting thing, for one week these are the people I have watched all throughout the day and wished to myself that I were in that position because it is exactly what I'm cut out to do. Plus, the perks for all restaurants and activities on the island are plentiful. Hmmm...wouldn't that me something?
I'm so excited!! Ever since you made a comment to me about a concierge I have thought that would be a great job for you. Plus the perks would be fabulous. I'm praying that God will lead you into the perfect job for you.
