Hi I can highly recommend Marketing for a Hotel (assuming it's a big one!!). No doubt your probably aware that most marketing and advertising budgets are based on minimum of 5% of last years company profits, so whilst there is a 'recession' the world over many advertising and marketing budgets have been hit very hard, therefore the stability of these sorts of roles come into question. Restaurants however are a different bag all together. Restaurants come and go as do their popularity, your only as good as your last meal. I ran a restaurant in Sydney for some time, and as my background is Media (specialising in TV) I was able to give the Restaurant some great out of the box strategy ideas that worked a treat. I have since retired from all Media & Marketing...just found after 23 years....it really wasn't my cup of tea after all. Too many crooks, people without morals, and way too much air kissing for me!! Best of luck in your chosen field. Jul
