It’s not uncommon for job seekers to overlook opportunities in the hospitality, tourism and/or seasonal work industries, because they believe they’re not long-term, lack stability or are thankless in nature. But how true is this? In this episode, we dispel some myths around working in these sectors, explore the advantages, the likelihood of it leading to permanent positions, what kinds of people these sectors are looking for and the jobs that are available. Niki LaFemina, Director, Talent & Culture at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, joins us.
