Some people just want to get their foot in the door. Others want to fast track to a management position. Either case, you won’t get there as fast as you want if you don’t harness your power to your passion. Think about that: doing what you love is the best and easiest way to achieve your goals. I used to love recruiting hospitality school graduates – they knew what they wanted and spent four years building their knowledge, skills, and abilities. All we had to do was show them a path, provide some coaching, give them a mentor or two, and then let them harness their power to their passion. Companies that say they can’t find good employees don’t know what they’re looking for or how to spot them – they should start looking in trade and specialty schools for people who are there because that’s what they love to do. Sure, they don’t have lots of experience, but they won’t have too many bad habits either, just a passion looking for a career. Find them, give them some training, and a chance to fly. It was easy to do in the hospitality business and can be the same in lots of other businesses too. Look for people who know what they want and are looking to fly; give them a job and some training today.
