Tired
of Job Hopping?
Like
the hospitality
industry but feel
something is
lacking? Are you
searching for a
career that feels
like home? Like you
belong? Like you're
making a difference?
Consider a career in
the timeshare
industry.
While
it's still within
the hospitality
field, it's
certainly different
than working in a
hotel. And you may
find that the
differences make it
the perfect niche
for you. For
example, in a hotel,
people come and go,
rarely would you see
guests again, let
alone get to know
them. In this
industry, you're
expected to get to
know the owners.
That's right,
owners. With
timeshare the guests
actually own the
units they stay in.
You'll
come to know the
owners and look
forward to seeing
them return year
after year. You'll
get to know their
families and share
in special moments
they have.
Room
Enough for All
You'll
find the same kind
of jobs here that
you would in any
other part of the
hospitality
industry. You can
work in
housekeeping,
administration,
sales, services, a
spa, restaurants, or
bars - anywhere.
You
could even work for
a timeshare
reseller - who
puts people who want
to buy timeshare and
people who are
selling timeshares
together.
There
are thousands of
resorts to work in.
It's up to you. Work
for a remote
timeshare in Bali.
Or, if a company
with a global reach
is for you, try a
resort like Westgate
timeshare.
The
next trend in
timeshare ownership
is designed to meet
the expectations of
the wealthy and the
upper middle class.
Fractionals are
resorts where you
buy a portion of the
year, from several
weeks to several
months, instead of
just a week at a
time. These tend to
be high-end
apartments,
stand-alone homes or
even eclectically
designed lofts.
You'll find that the
demand for highly
polished
professionals is
growing. In this
sort of atmosphere
you'd be expected to
anticipate the needs
of your clients.
Some offer the
services of a
24-hour concierge
assigned to one
family, chauffer,
nanny, and private
chef.
Insulate
Yourself
The
timeshare industry
is growing every
year. In boom times
people purchase
timeshares as an
alternative to
owning a second
home. In lean times,
people buy
timeshares so
that they can still
afford to take a
vacation, even if
it's close to home.
Resorts
have staying power -
and so will you if
you choose to spend
your career here.
Because there are so
many of them, you
can find work nearly
anywhere you'd like
to live, from a
Caribbean island, to
an exciting ski
resort, to your own
back yard. Chances
are, if there isn't
a timeshare
there today, there
will be tomorrow.
