Doorman Duty

Whenever we get into any hotel in the world, the first person who opens the car door and greets us is the doorman. George Ondara, is one such doorman, always ready to welcome you with an ever present smile.

Ondara as he is referred to by his colleagues  has been working in the hospitality industry for 25 years. One of the first things he says is that he loves his job, it is this job has given him the opportunity to meet various world and business leaders over the years.  

This job is not for everyone one he says, has to have a sharp memory to remember guests who are returning to the hotel, as well as those visiting for the first time. One must also have good knowledge of their working environment as often guests a wide variety of questions. 

They will ask you to recommend places where they can shop, try out local cuisine, see our famous wildlife, and the most common; the location of the nearest automated teller machine. One must also be friendly and have a pleasant demeanor and most importantly he says, be tall and handsome.While not at work, George plays an active role in his church and will often share what he learns with others
