Why pursue a career in butler service by Robert Watson

You are entering into a profession that is very different from what has been the norm. A waiter is a waiter, a receptionist is a receptionist, a room-attendant is a room attendant, a bellman is a bellman etc.

But as a butler you will be multi-tasked, multi-dutied multi-skilled. As a butler you will be empowered to make decisions on behalf of the guest and also your employer, you are in effect your own manager, the first step to becoming a manager of others is to manage yourself.

​

That makes you an ideal candidate for future development in the hospitality industry.

Every country in the world has internal and international tourism generating billions of dollars annually. No matter how much the service industry changes in the coming years, there will always be tourists and International business travellers, who are happy to pay a premium for outstanding service. So what the industry will be looking for is people that know how to provide that level of service.
