Homework Session 3 : Professional Reputation


THE PROFESSIONAL REPUTATION 

Linkedin & Resume 
  •  Linkedin gives an overview of the candidate’s profile while a resume should more fitted for a special job offer.
  •  Linkedin is also be easier to be updated by the candidate or his connections who will be able to confirm his skills.
  • Linkedin has become too mainstream and it will be easier for a candidate to distinguish himself with his own words on his personal resume.
  • A candidate has to make sure to include in his resume the relevant information regarding the desired job : only afterwards, if the hiring manager wants to learn more about the candidate, he will look him/her up on Linkedin.
  • A resume has to be precise so that the hiring manager can make up his mind on the candidate in less than a minute. A linkedin page however is much more longer and contains extra information. 
  • As resumes are personnalised according to the job offer, a candidate should have a resume per type of job seeked. His linkedin page however will always contains the same information.
  • Photos are important for recrutiers even though they are not always used by recruiters because of potential discriminations. The picture needs to professional !
  • Linkedin offers publicity while resumes will remain private between the potential employer and the candidate.
  • A resume should be adressed to the hiring manager and focus on how the company will benefit from his work while a Linkedin page will have a more general audience.
  • Keywords are used by recruiters to determine which skills should be included in the candidates’ resumes. It is then important to choose the right keywords in a resume.

  I consider the service to the customers to be the heart of the hotel. My summer internship in a 168-rooms hotel helped me realize that that type of size hotel is not something I particularly enjoy. It is very complicated to maintain high quality service when many guests have to be welcomed at the same time and it is a shame to have to choose between quality and greater income. It is why I would love to work in smaller hotels or boutique hotels where it could be easier to dedicate time to each customers. Also I think I work better when many things need to be done in a day with colleagues who are also driven, it pushes me to give the best of myself.

A little discussion with Alino, our marvelous chatbot

ALINO THE CHATBOT  Today Nicolas and I gave life to Alino , the chatbot of La Canaille restaurant. Thanks to his help, customers will be given basic information and may call us if they need any other information.  It allows us to save some time to dedicate to our other customers.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------- It has very interesting to create Alino and define its possible answers. It pushes us to guess and predict our guests' expectations. By talking with Alino instead of one of our employee, our team has more time to dedicate to our face-to-face customer.  I had never set up a chatbot and it has been very helpful to learn that.  https://www.facebook.com/La-Canaille-982938515188142/?modal=admin_todo_tour

Session 5 : Homework

These two images illustrates the connection there is between the different (and so numerous !) social medias. In addition, social medias are also very connected to each other, as competitors or not. When innovating, it is not so rare to observe the same innovation after a while on the opponent's website.  A customer may be influenced through pictures, that represent the fastest way to touch someone : not everyone will stop to read a comment, even positive, because online comments may seem unipersonal and fake. Instagram and Pinterest are two interesting platforms that provides users with images of other users according to what and whom they like.  Even though they might be seen as biased, online comments count as well in the decision journey: on an hotel Facebook page, or a simple Tweet on Twitter can greatly influence a customer that will feel reassured.
