Metro Inn Albany Manager, Alan Scicluna Holds Up His 'Catch Of The Day'


Metro Inn Albany Manager, Alan Scicluna holds up his 'catch of the day' - a mighty Salmon caught at the popular Salmon Heads fishing spot near Albany using mackerel for bait.
According to Mr Scicluna, "the Salmon weighed more than 5 kilograms but we weren't too sure just how big it was because our scales only went to 5kg."

Albany is blessed with many fantastic fishing spots catering for both the experienced angler and the complete novice.

"I am more than happy to share with our guests the latest hot tips on where the biggest and best fish are being caught." explains Mr Scicluna. "And you can even cook the fish you caught right away on the BBQ we have for guests to use at Metro Inn Albany," he said.

Aspire Hotel Sydney: Hi im Karin - The Aspire Hotel Sydney Intern

Ninety days ago, I flew into Australia for 6 months. Three months have passed and I am writing this article about myself and my great life in Australia.

My name is Karin Lodewijks and I am a 19 years old girl from the Netherlands, studying Hotel and Event Management. Currently I am doing my internship at Aspire Hotel Sydney for 5 months.

After so much thinking, talking and saving my money, December last year I decided to come to Sydney for six months. First of all, I came here for my internship (of course) but secondly, because of the culture, the beautiful landscapes and the kindness, peacefulness and the hospitality of the people who live here. My thoughts and wishes came true and I am having a wonderful time in Sydney.

At this moment I am living in Bondi Junction and every weekday I am travelling to Ultimo to work at Aspire Hotel Sydney. During the months I have been here now, I brought the things I have learned at school into practice and I have gained a lot of working experience. It is really interesting to see how all the different departments work and communicate together, but at the same time are trying to reach their own goals. I already have had a look at some different departments such as housekeeping, reservations and sales and marketing but most of time has been spent with the front desk team. After my time at the Aspire, I hope I will find a position that suits me the best within the hotel industry.

During the weekends I am trying to see a lot of different things in Sydney and the surrounding areas and enjoying the different climate. It is really strange for me as a Dutch girl to celebrate Christmas and the New Years period in sunny Sydney. But I am looking forward to it. When my internship is finished, I am going to travel around Australia and I would like to go to New Zealand. I am so excited!

Time is flying - in 3 months I will have to go back to the Netherlands. But before that, I am enjoying and living the good life ‘Down Under’.

Aspire Hotel Sydney: Two Interns at Aspire Hotel Sydney

Aspire Hotel Sydney currently has two interns studying at the property, below is a brief write-up by Sevada and Mourad.

Sevada Yeroomian

My name is Sevada Yeroomian borne Iran, and from origin Armenian. I am 24 years old and live at the moment in Holland, studying hotel and event management. I am doing an internship at the Aspire hotel to gain more experience in the hotel industries, because of the small organization I choice the Aspire hotel.

I believe that a small organization can provide you more inside information and more experience of a particular business. There are a few things I would like to learn and experience during my internship; I would like to see how a hotel works in general.

I would like to see and experience how every department works and how they use the certain methods and strategies to gain their goals. And the most important is to learn what the link is between what I have learned at school and how the actual business works. My goal is to be a hotel manager and eventually a part of a great organization where I can grow and learn more. I would like to migrate to Australia and start my career here, I love the country and the opportunities it has.

The kind people and diversity off different cultures is positive points where I can see myself work and enjoy life. As everyone I also have certain things that I love to do in my daily life. I love sport, reading biography off business man, traveling and last but not least cooking and eating.

Mourad Sarkis
 
My name is Mourad Sarkis and I’m from Holland. I have been working in the Royal Dutch Army as a scout. I wanted something else and worked for one year at Staples as a salesman, just to think about my future. I thought about a study and chosen for Hotel and Event management. In my spare time I love to read books and listen to music. Since a few months I found my self a new hobby, photography, and love to go to American V8 shows just to take pictures.
I fell in love with American Cars since I bought my first American muscle car a Chevrolet Camaro 1979. I’m in Australia now for two weeks as an intern at the Aspire Hotel. At school we have learned a lot about how to keep a hotel running. The only thing is that I didn’t have had any experience of working in a hotel. After a long search there was the Aspire hotel who gave me the opportunity to do my internship in here and gain some working experience.

I wanted to do it in a small hotel, so that I can see how the whole hotel works, from top to down! In the future I want to be a hotel manager abroad the Netherlands. I have chosen for Australia because of here beauty and a lot of different cultures, what I do like.

And I think that Australia can offer you a lot if you work hard for it!
