In second year of my course in DKIT I had to go on
internship for six months. Classmates choose to go to local, national and
international places. I choose to go to the states to gain a new experience and
see how others operate in the world. I got my interview for the Baltimore
Marriot Waterfront in late January 2010. The following day I received a call to
say I had got the job. I was excited and could not believe a dream was actually
turning into reality.
This is
a 5 star property located in the heart of the city of Baltimore in Maryland (MD). I worked mainly in the banquets sector alongside event managers
helping organise events up to 1000 people. I worked a various events as a banquet server and bar
tender also. Some of these events were umimaginable.
Myself & three classmates headed off to the states on
March 24th 2010. There is not one highlight of the experience I
could choose over the other. It was brilliant from start to finish.
It was the best decision I’ve made in my life to
date. I truly gained a great experience which I felt changed me as a person. I
got the chance to travel the east coast of America.
At the start I was a bit anxious about going with
three strangers Audrey, Ruth & SÃnead. We all worked, lived &
socialised together. Now, when I look
back, this is one my strongest points. I never thought that I would develop
such close friendships with these people and meet some wonderful people from
all parts of the world; which I still keep in contact to this day.
