HOTEL CONTRACTING

• Are you prepared to be based in London, but spend 50 % of your time abroad?

Then call or write to: David Ansell_y Intertours Europe, 276 В romp ton Rd. LondonSW4 LV Tel: [phone]

Interviewer: Right, Joan. Let me tell you a little about the job first, and then you can tell me about yourself, right?

Joan: Yes, fine.

Interviewer: Good. Well, the job title is Assistant Contracts Manager. Basically, it involves visiting hotels, as­sessing them according to our own rating system, and deciding if we should include them in our bro­chure. As the advertisement said, you would be based in London, but you would spend an equal amount of time abroad — France and Spain, main­ly, but there would be some trips to Hungary and Bulgaria.

Joan: Mmm. Does that mean I would work alone?

Interviewer: No. To start with you would work with the Con­tracts Manager— you'll meet her later— er, but you wouldn't be directly involved in negotiating with hotels at that stage. However, at the end of six months we would assess your progress, and if we felt you were ready, we would allow you more in­dependence. You would still report to the Contracts Manager, of course. Any questions so far?

Joan: No. J think that's clear.

Interviewer: Now I see from your CV that you spent two years working as a rep for Thomson, is that right?

Joan: Yes. I worked in Tunisia for the first year, then the

following season I was transferred to Bodrum in Turkey. 1 got to know all the hotels quite well.

Interviewer: Yes. I wanted to ask you about that.
