格里昂高等教育学院 2015年6月23日
法国/摩洛哥学生Amal M’rini目前正在格里昂伦敦校区读酒店管理研究生文凭（Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality Administration）课程，我们采访她的时候，她深刻地剖析了自己选择酒店管理领域作为职业发展方向的原因，以及格里昂伦敦校区的课程是如何让她为未来的成功积淀出色的技能和知识的。
问：在来格里昂读书之前，你是出于什么原因决定读酒店管理研究生文凭课程的？
Amal：“我之前在加那利群岛（Canary Islands）上的一家酒店实习过，当时是在客房预订和市场营销部门实习，那次实习让我感到我对酒店非常感兴趣。实习后我去了英国，在一家酒店做电话总台的接线员和前台接待，这次工作经历更让我确信了我对酒店的热爱。我希望今后在酒店中可以获得更好的职业机会，于是我决定再让自己突破一下：读一个酒店管理学位。”
问：你认为选择这个行业对你未来的职业发展有何保障/稳定性？
Amal：“酒店行业涵盖的范围非常广泛并且现在行业范围还在不断地扩展。此外，这是一个国际化的商业领域，你可以选择去国外工作。你会有丰富的职业选择。酒店和正在迅猛发展的旅游业联系也很紧密。”
问：你为什么选择在格里昂高等教育学院伦敦校区学习？
Amal：“我选择格里昂的第一个原因就是它的地理位置。我想继续在伦敦完成我的学业是因为这个城市非常有活力，这里的酒店和旅游业中也有大量的工作机会。这是一个文化多元化的地方，你会遇到各种有不同经历的人。我搜索了一些学校资料，当我发现格里昂的时候，很轻松就做出了决定：格里昂在国际上享有盛誉，毫无疑问是选择这所学校。来格里昂读书是对未来非常有价值的投资，因为你在这里不仅会获得学位，还可以在学校拓展你的人脉，并且在学习期间还有可能把你的人际关系拓展到这个行业里面。”
问：获得格里昂伦敦校区的研究生文凭后你希望自己能在哪些方面受益？
Amal：“毕业之后，我希望这个文凭首先能保证我找到一个好工作。然后，我希望可以在事业上不断取得进步，做到高级管理职位。格里昂实际上已经培养你打好了专业基础，你的专业技能不断得到提高，这使得你将来能被更好的雇主录用。格里昂的老师们都是行业内的专业人士，他们总是会鼓励你赵越自己。”
问：目前为止，你都了解到了哪些信息影响到你未来的职业方向选择？
Amal：”在格里昂，我了解到除了酒店之外，我在其它领域也有非常多的工作机会，这个信息可能对我接下来几个月内选择职业方向有所影响。“
问：你最喜欢这个课程中的哪些内容和哪些授课方式？
Amal：“我们谈论酒店的时候，我感到非常享受。我也很喜欢我们在格里昂参加的去酒店参观的活动，这些活动旨在让学生们熟悉酒店行业。我还发现我们在瑞士的应用型学习项目对后来学习如何运营一家餐厅或酒店真的非常适用。这种学习形式可以让学生们对行业的真实发展趋势有一个更精准的把握。这个应用型学习项目帮助我认识到了自己的强项和缺点，也让我明白了客房部的工作比餐饮部的工作更适合我。”
问：在格里昂伦敦校区学习期间你喜欢哪些课程？为什么喜欢这些课程？
Amal：”我非常喜欢和酒店直接相关的课程，比如‘餐饮介绍（Introduction to Food and Beverage）’或‘商务礼仪’（Business Etiquette），因为在这些课程中我们倾向于探讨当今行业的发展趋势和正在扩展的酒店品牌。这些方面的知识极其重要，因为我们未来的职业发展状况将与这些趋势息息相关。”
问：加入格里昂伦敦校区国际学生群体的经历怎么样？格里昂精神对你而言意味着什么？
Amal：”我的经历非常有趣，我见到了来自不同国家的人。你从他们身上可以学到很多东西，同时他们也在学习你身上的优点。我们有很多参加学生生活和社交活动的机会。参加学生生活时不仅是和格里昂的同学们一起组织活动，还和罗汉普顿大学（University of Roehampton）的学生们一起合作，在这个过程中你会有机会接触到不同的运动并组织不同的活动。于我而言，’格里昂精神‘意味着集聚和分享不同的思想，使得我们今后可以为客户提供更好的服务，成为工作部门的领导者。“
问：对于未来想申请格里昂伦敦校区的学生，你向他们推荐这个研究生文凭课程的原因是什么？
Amal：”我会向未来的学生推荐格里昂研究生文凭课程是因为这个课程涵盖了酒店行业的各个方面，并且还会为你提供很多就业机会，不仅是在酒店行业，在旅游机构或航空公司都会有就业机会。“
问：毕业之后你希望获得哪种类型的职位？你对自己5 — 10年内的事业发展有怎样的期许？
Amal：”我希望从一个管理职位开始，在酒店前厅或客房部门。接下来的十年间我希望在酒店或集团总部升至高级管理层。“

Interview with Amal – Glion London Postgraduate student
by Glion Institute of Higher Education 23 June 2015
Currently studying for her Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality Administration at Glion’s London campus, French/Moroccan student Amal M’rini reflects on why she chose to build her career in hospitality management, and how her program of study at Glion London is preparing her with the skills and knowledge for future success.
Q: Before you enrolled, why did you decide to study for a Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality Administration?
Amal: “After an internship at a hotel in The Canary Islands in reservations and marketing, I felt really interested in hospitality. After my internship, I moved to the UK to work as a switchboard operator and receptionist in a hotel and this confirmed my passion for hospitality. I would like to have larger opportunities in the years coming; therefore I decided to take a step ahead with a degree in hospitality administration.”
Q: What security/stability do you feel this industry offers you for your future career?
Amal: “Hospitality is an enormous industry and it is expanding more and more. In addition, it is an international business field and you can choose to work abroad. You will always find options. Hospitality is related to tourism, which is growing significantly.”
Q: Why did you choose to study at Glion Institute of Higher Education in London?
Amal: “The first reason why I chose Glion is the location. I wanted to continue my studies in London because it is a dynamic city with huge opportunities in the hospitality industry and tourism. It is multicultural and you can meet different people with different experiences.After some research, when I discovered Glion, the choice was obvious since it has a worldwide reputation. Glion is a valuable investment for the future since you don’t only graduate with a degree; you develop a network within the institution and have the possibility to develop this network within industry while you are studying.”
Q: What benefits do you hope to acquire after achieving your postgraduate qualification with Glion London?
Amal: “After graduation, I am first hoping to have job security in the future. Then, I would like to progress in my career and be in executive management.Glion actually gives you a base and helps you in promoting yourself towards potential recruiters. Teachers who have been professionals in the industry encourage you to get the best out of yourself at any time.”
Q: What have you learned so far that has helped to influence your future career direction?
Amal: “With Glion, I learnt that I actually have many more opportunities in addition to working in a hotel, so this might have an influence on my decisions in the coming months.”
Q: What are your favorite things about the program and teaching methods?
Amal: “I really enjoy when we talk about hotels and at Glion we attend organized visits to hotels, which are provided to familiarize students with the hospitality industry. I also find the applied learning in Switzerland really well adapted for learning how to operate a restaurant or a hotel. It is a form of education closer to the reality of tomorrow. This applied learning has helped me to see my strengths and my weaknesses, but it has also helped me to understand that the rooms division department was more suitable for me than food and beverage.“
Q: What kinds of subjects do you enjoy studying at Glion London and for what reason?
Amal: “I really enjoy the subjects directly related to hospitality like ‘Introduction to Food and Beverage’ or ‘Business Etiquette’ because we tend to talk about the trends of today and the brands that are expanding. This is extremely important to cover, since our future careers will be related to these trends.”
Q: How has your experience been of joining the Glion London international student body? What does the Glion Spirit mean to you?
Amal: “My experience has been quite interesting since I have met people from different countries. You learn a lot from them and they learn from you as well. We have many opportunities to participate in student life and socialize. Student life is not only about organizing activities with Glion students but also with the University of Roehampton, in which you have a choice between different sports, and events are also organized. For me, ‘Glion Spirit’ means gathering and sharing ideas in order to serve our future customers and become leaders in the sector.”
Q: Why would you recommend a postgraduate diploma at Glion London to future students?
Amal: “I would recommend the postgraduate diploma to future students because it covers all aspects of the hospitality industry and allows you to have opportunities, not only in hotels but also in travel agencies or airlines.”
Q: What type of position do you hope to go into once you graduate and where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?
Amal: “I would hope to begin with a supervisory position, in the front office of a hotel or housekeeping. In the next ten years I see myself in an executive management position, in a hotel or in a head office.”
“Glion m’a offert une formation adaptée pour faire évoluer ma carrière dans l’hôtellerie. Ma vie à Londres contribue également à étendre mes connaissances dans le tourisme.”
English translation: “Glion offers me training that allows me to transform my career for the hotel industry. Life in London enables me to extend my knowledge in tourism.”
