What's it like to be a Concierge?

"I've been a Concierge for around three years, and I really love my job. I work in a large hotel, and I love being the first thing people see when they walk in the door. It means I get to give guests their first impression of the whole hotel – and first impressions count. The work is varied, and always keeps me on my toes. And, with new guests coming every day, there’s certainly never a dull moment. If you want a fun career with plenty of interaction, this definitely fits the bill."
