“The knowledge I gained at
César Ritz Colleges is really
practical and made the
learning process at work very
easy.”
“For me, hospitality is a professional
area that offers such a variety of
career choices, so that you can really
find the role that is suitable for you.
From a career perspective, it is a highpaced
developing industry worldwide,
including here in Kazakhstan. It is
also a very exciting industry that gives
you the opportunity to travel and meet
new people.
I graduated from César Ritz Colleges
in 2011 and am now working as the
Sales manager at the Park Inn by
Radisson in Astana, the largest
international property in Astana. I am
responsible for corporate sales and
have to identify and attract new
corporate clients along with managing
sales-related projects and events and
negotiating rates to ensure revenue
targets. The hotel has only opened
recently and I was a part of the preopening
team and the
experience I gained was really
precious. It is such a different
experience being a part of the preopening
process, rather than joining
a fully operational hotel.
I find that my educational
background helps me a lot and the
best thing about the knowledge I
gained at César Ritz Colleges is that
it is really practical. Thanks to what I
had learned in class, when I had my
first work experience, the learning
process was easy for me. I still
experience the positives of my
education every day.
At César Ritz Colleges, the
international student body and
access to industry representatives
gave me a big networking
advantage.
My advice to students who are
considering studying hospitality is to
be passionate and ready to work
hard. Advice I follow through my
professional philosophy which is:
Yes, I can!”
