"I’ll tell you what the big difference between Premier Inn and the others was… the interview." When we caught up with Roisin, Head Housekeeper at Premier Inn, to find out what made her choose the UK's most loved hotel brand as an employer, the answer was clear. 👆 Interviews can be daunting, there's no doubt about that, but especially when you've decided to step into a new industry. 👩💼Business dress, four-person panels and question after question to prove why you're the right fit for a company, were some of the additional stresses she experienced when interviewing for housekeeping roles at other hotel brands. ❌ However, when she turned up at Premier Inn, she got the warm welcome we’re known for - had an informal chat and a preview of the role. She was asked if she thought the role was right for her and knew immediately where she wanted to start her new career. 🫶🏽 🚀Two years on and she's now carrying out interviews for her own team and making sure everyone has the same welcoming experience as her. 💜 Read Roisin's full story here: https://bit.ly/3TRi69c #ChangeYourStory
