Arun, now a manager of a great hotel at the beach, remembers how his first day in the hospitality business started a long time ago.
He woke up early in the morning. He felt a little nervous because it was his first day at work. He started a new job as a concierge at a big five-star hotel. He took a shower, brushed his teeth, and put on his clean uniform. Then he looked in the mirror and smiled. He wanted to do his best.
At 7:30, Arun left his house and took the bus to the hotel. The building looked large and beautiful. The manager welcomed him and showed him where he would sit. Arun met the other workers at the front desk. They were kind and friendly.
