Why do you want to be a Hotel Receptionist?
Ask yourself that first; 90% of people who apply for hotel jobs are not suited to the job, desite tham thinking so.
Consider that you have to be very flexible to the work; One day, you might be on Reception, yet another day, you need to help clean rooms, or wash dishes. Are you flexible enough to support the whole Hotel.
Flexible to working time as well. 9-5 jobs in this sector is hard to find. Could you start at 6 am, or finish at 2 am? In most jobs, you get to walk out the door at 5pm on the dot, not in hotels. Half an hour of UNPAID extra input is common.
Salary depends on where you are, but you omitted that detail from your question.
So, if you want to go ahead, look at the hotels in your area, pick out which ones yuou are interested in and send your application to the HR Manager. Don't go in and give it in, save your beautiful appearance for the interview.
