My work experience
During my dual studies with the focus on tourism management and economics, I had three years of work experiences in the Holiday Inn Lübeck. I passed through all departments in a hotel and got to know the hotel management in an operative and an administrative way. Furthermore, I received a great insight into economics, personal management, communication, marketing and a lot more during my time at the Wirtschaftsakademie.
In France, I worked at the Hidden Country Hotel in Cayeux-sur-Mer. I stayed there for three month, being responsible for reservations and service management. In addition, I helped out as a waitress in the corresponding restaurant Petit Café.
My first job after school was in Ireland. There I worked as an au-pair for seven months. I took care of four children, organized house blessings and improved my English.
My free time and my engagement:
Examination for instructor qualification - I am officially allowed to train apprentices
Trainee leader at the Holiday Inn Lübeck hotel - Responsible for the organization of three events as trainee team

About myself
My name is Jana, I am 26 years old.
After the abitur I worked abroad for ten month in Ireland and in France, already using workaway.
When I came back I started my dual studies in tourism management and economics, working in the Holiday Inn Lübeck hotel and doing my apprenticeship as hotel manageress there. I finished my Bachelor of Arts and apprenticeship.
Now I am studying psychology in the Netherlands, aiming to become a clinical psychologist.
I love working with people and sharing my knowledge. Being able to speak multiple languages is an important part of my life.
I am an eager, cooperative, polite, creative and understanding person who loves new challenges and travelling, getting to know new people, new cultures, new customs and new food. I am also well organized and tidy and I have a friendly and customer-oriented appearance. In total I think I can fit in very well and I am looking forward to the new experience again :)
The meaning of traveling for me:
The fulfilment of dreams or special associations
Communication, independence and organisation
The getting to know of different languages, cultures and capabilities
Good collaboration
Diversity, courtesy, candour and responsibility
Future
I would like to show you how important it is for me to travel and how much I enjoy getting to know new people and cultures.
