CHAPTER 2: MY JOB DESCRIPTIONS
For students, the training period aims to confirm and train yourself to have stronger steps into the profession after graduating I do not choose a commercial company or other places to practice I have an internship at the hotel I know that the job will be more difficult but to get acquainted with the work no matter what I have tried For me, a job which is small or inconsistent with the sector I learn is also an opportunity to try and learn
1 Work progress
Practicum time at the restaurant begin from January 26th to March 12th, 2016 I only work three days a week because I am in internship And I work in restaurants on Tuesday, Thursday and satuday in week During the internship, my work is divided into three stages as follows:
Stage 1: From January 26 th to February 6 th , 2016
This is the time that I am get acquainted with the work at the restaurant In the morning, I arrived at the hotel at 8 am I worn staff uniform of the restaurant and work
as the employees are doing I started to learn from the smallest job such as the way of walking, greeting, neat hair bun, processes customer service, how to trap drinks, calves and catering Sometimes, I get a list of foods to learn and remember the names of dishes I have to observe the staff when they do and learn gradually Therefore, these days, I am only looking at other waitress do their work and I can ask them things if I
do not know
Stage 2: From February 9 th to March 6 th , 2016
Thanks to the guidance of manager in the department and the knowledge learned into practice I decided to contact with guests
In the morning, I and the other waitress only serves buffet for guests in the room Then, we decorated dining table and prepared the tools serve as arrangement tables, serving food, napkin folding At 10 am, we can clean all things on table and prepare a-la-cart table to serve middle meal At 11:30 am, I helped other people clean the dish and prepared some things such as sugar, paper and milk jugs
During this time, I observed meticulous work and gradually learned ways serve and facilitate contact foreign visitors in service work with my English
Trang 11Stage 3: From March 9 th to March 12 th , 2016
In this stage, I had more opportunities to contact with foreigners and improved my English skills I am very pleased about that I think that I have mastered all the work as
a real waiter
I served dishes according to order menu or buffet Foreign visitors need the high level of service It requires you to know a foreign language and professional style I did catering, wrote order under the guidance of staff and gradually to serve foreign customers to be able to understand customer sentiment to serve the requirement of customer hobby When guests came, my job was to extend a friendly and professional greeting I often said hello and smile And when they have seat, I came to guest and ordered according to guests enjoy, then I bring tea and coffee

2 Strengths and weaknesses
2.1 Strengths
Thank for the staff’s zealous helping and training, I can not only adapt to work more quickly but I also get more efficiently at work during the time of probation at the restaurant Moreover, I also have opportunities to contact with the foreign guests which made my English skill improve quickly
2.2 Weaknesses
At first, I made some mistake because I was unfamiliar with the job, and the staff at restaurant gave me a lot of help
The names of dishes in the menu are quite long and strange, that is a big difficult for me to memory exactly
And another thing is my pronunciation My pronunciation is not good so I made some errors when communicating with foreign customers such as mistakenly ordered meals or drink…and made obviously dissatisfied for customers However, this helped
me learn more from mistakes
2.3 Solution to improve my weaknesses
Trang 13During the period of internship, I always observe, learn how to manage and resolve problems from the manager to get the experience of similar situations
I try to learn English, the basic communication from the Internet, books to improve their language skills better
In leisure time at the restaurant, I get a list of foods to learn and remember the names of dishes
I try to remember to call the dishes in English This not only helps me feel confident
to introduce unfamiliar dishes to foreigners but also helps me know how food processing to introduce to customers
Trang 14Supervisor: Dang Thi Minh Nguyet
CHAPTER III: LESSON LEARNT
1 Lesson learnt
During the period of internship at the restaurant, I have learned a lot of lessons and accumulated professional experience for myself so that I will not be familiar for future work
Besides, I found that the fluent use of English in communication is an essential condition in the hotel - restaurant To succeed in the job, theoretical expertise is not enough to apply the knowledge learned into practice, under the circumstances a flexible, not too rigid and pragmatic
2 Conclusions
During three month practice as a waiter at COCO hotel, I realized that my English skills are better Because I had chances to communicate with foreign guests everyday Besides, I learnt experience about the real life from my work and restaurant staffs Combining between theory and practice helped me have deeper understand about experience learned This is also a factor help me to improve the ability to communicate
in English and I feel more active, self- confident and flexible
It can be said that this internship is very significant for my job in the future This is
a good chance for me to practice what I had studied in College and learn more
precious working experience
Besides, I also have a chance to study culinary cultural of other countries to expand
my social knowledge Practicum time is an experience, an opportunity to practice the knowledge learned If we do not apply into real environment, knowledge is also mere knowledge
3 Recommendation
3.1 To the hotel
Although staff in the department restaurant always concern and guide enthusiastically, I hope the department should make more chances for students to be acquainted with the practical work
3.2 To the college
While teaching, the college should combine between theory and practice because when you work, it requires experiences more than theory I as well as English students think that listening skill is the most difficult skill Therefore, I hope this listening skill should be practiced more and it is necessary to have room for teaching
