Message sent 3/23/2015: I wanted to contact you regarding a new opening at our Best Western Premier hotel for our Front Office Manager. We have enjoyed having your interns in the past and have utilized your site for part time postings, however I wanted to reach out to you personally to see if you currently had any students already with hotel experience, perhaps that will be graduating this coming May, that would be interested in having a managerial role. I know many of your students are looking for opportunities that would foster career growth in the industry, and I can tell you working for the Oldham Goodwin Group is one of the best ways to do so. I started with OGG my junior year at A&M and went from a breakfast attendant to a General Manager in less than 3 years’ time. If you have students with as much drive and desire and want to work for a company that recognizes hard work and will promote from within, this could be a great position for them. I have attached a description of the position and would love to fill this opening with another Aggie from your department. If you have any shooting stars that would fit this bill, please let them know of this opportunity. As always, if you or anyone else has any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. With warmest regards, Victoria Fightin’ Aggie Class of 2013 Victoria Venskus | General Manager BEST WESTERN PREMIER Old Town Center 1920 Austin’s Colony Parkway | Bryan | TX | 77802 T (979) 731-5300 F (979) 731-5301 E [email protected]
