第一次行业实习为富豪和名人服务
L-R Pearl Sarasiri, Stephen Twinings先生, Jyotika Khanijou（蓝山学生）
当我申请第一次行业实习时，我向我的职业发展协调员咨询自己是否能在泰国文华东方酒店（Mandarin Oriental Hotel）工作。我知道这家酒店非常有名。她鼓励我申请这家酒店，让我相信自己。
Well I was accepted! 我被录取了！
我非常紧张，不确定自己是应该为得到一份极具挑战性的工作而开心还是恐惧担忧。
我能够符合酒店的标准吗？我在餐饮部门实习了1个月，然后又进行了将近3个月的宴会工作，我在Verandah餐厅进行早餐工作，并在那里完成了自己的实习。
我通过行业实习获得了许多经验，加速了我在酒店学院的学习。随着我信心的增加，洗盘子、宴会厅/功能室的餐具摆放、参与婚礼的工作、餐饮工作、幕后管理运营，所有这些工作如今看起来都不那么让人惧怕了。
谁会想到我在行业实习期间居然能够为皇室成员服务呢？我的确做到了！我在酒店迎接泰国公主（Princess of Thailand）参加外交部（Ministry of Foreign Affairs）举办的会议。我知道，作为一个泰国当地人在泰国都难以见到皇室成员。在泰国，每个人都认为能够接近皇室成员是一件很荣耀的事情……我将公主迎接到宴会厅，并带她去用餐。
在酒店里与富豪和名人擦肩而过是极常见的事情；我还随经理一起前往泰国国会大厦（Parliament House of Thailand）为泰国前总理Abhisit Vejajiva先生以及其它国家的总理服务。
另外一件值得一提的事情是和川宁茶公司（Twinings Tea Company）的拥有者Stephen Twinings私下见面交谈的事情。Twinings先生到曼谷文华东方酒店参加一个研讨会，他为酒店所有员工（包括我）进行有关川宁茶知识的培训。我向众人证明了蓝山酒店学院的学生表现的很好，甚至是在趣味问答比赛中也表现优秀，我赢得了Twinings先生的礼盒。
当然，这不仅仅是一次和名人见面的机会；这一经历已经为我建立了人际关系，这将促进我在酒店行业未来的人际关系网络发展。我完全享受其中，我感觉自己通过在这一著名酒店与如此优秀的人员一起工作，为自己赢得了许多的家人。感谢你，泰国华文东方酒店！当然还有蓝山国际酒店管理学院！
With lots of love,
蓝山， 永远爱你！

L-R Pearl Sarasiri, Mr Stephen Twinings, Jyotika Khanijou (BMIHMS student)
When I was applying for my first work placement/ internship, I asked my career development coordinator if she thought I could get in to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Thailand. I know how prestigious the hotel is. She encouraged me to apply, assured me to be confident and trust in myself.
Well I was accepted!
I was extremely nervous, and not at all sure whether to be happy about what would either be a challenging role or just plain scary.
Would I be able to live up to the standards of the Hotel? I started my work placement in the Food and Beverage Department for one month, continued to work in Banqueting for nearly three months and completed my training in The Verandah Restaurant, where I did breakfast shifts.
Throughout my student placement I gained many experiences and accelerated my learning that begun at the Hotel School. Clearing plates; ballroom/function room set-up; participation in busy functions– weddings; food and beverage work, to the behind-the-scenes administration operations all jobs now seem less daunting as my confidence is grows.
Who would have thought I would welcome royalty on a student placement? Well I did! I welcomed the Princess of Thailand to the hotel for a meeting held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As a Thai national, I know what a rare opportunity it is to even see a member of the Royal family in Thailand. In Thailand, everyone believes that it is a big honour to have a Royal family member close to you. . . and here I was welcoming one into the ballroom and taking her down to have her lunch.
Rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous did not end there; I also accompanied my manager to the Parliament House of Thailand to cater to the former Prime Minister of Thailand, Mr. Abhisit Vejajiva, along with many other ministers from around the world.
Another claim to fame highlight was the chance to meet and speak personally with the owner of the Twinings Tea Company, Mr. Stephen Twinings. Mr. Twinings visited the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok for a seminar, where he trained all employees (including me) about Twinings Tea. I proved that Blue Mountains Hotel School students do well, even in fun quizzes, and won a gift hamper from Mr Twinning himself.
Of course it isn’t just a chance to meet famous people; this experience has begun building --professional relationships that will be part of my future network in the hospitality industry forever. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I feel I have gained an extended family through working with such fantastic people in such a prestigious place. All thanks to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Thailand . . and the Blue Mountains Hotel Management School of course!
With lots of love,
Jyotika Khanijou
