Ha...I've been a "secretary" for years...I decided to start a career in the hotel industry and I started as a housekeeper in one of the most famous and luxurious hotels in nyc...then I got a job as a housekeeping supervisor at another well known hotel...the owner was impressed with my personality and my "administration" skills and offered me the position of sales coordinator...I have to undergo intensive training, however.
