College to Career Success

Your reputation and ability to nurture relationships will stand you well. As it did with Christine Meehan ’12, ’17. Christine applied to FLIK,

a division of Compass Group, for their MDP program in her senior year. She was one of 30 applicants chosen to interview, twelve were invited to the FLIK dinner with senior management, and all were offered positions. Enter Amy Tormey who was at the dinner. She was impressed with Christine and negotiated with her colleagues to steal Christine away from the FLIK division to the Compass corporate division where Christine was hired as Amy’s first college relations coordinator. This set Christine on her path to talent acquisition and human resources coming from a Hospitality Management and MBA in Finance degree at JWU.

During her experience at Compass, Christine built a relationship with Amy and grew into her responsibilities as a young professional illustrating all the traits of a great 缅北强奸alumna – excellent work ethic, commitment to the work, solid multi-tasker, great personality and successfully managed work/life balance!

In 2014, Christine moved on to an HR role with another company and maintained her relationship with Amy. Flash forward to 2016 and a cross country move for both Amy and Christine to the West Coast where their paths cross again. During that time, an employer who was looking for good talent asked Amy if she had any recommendations and Amy recommended Christine for the position. Christine was then hired into her current role as the regional talent acquisition manager at Auberge Resorts Collection in San Francisco. Once again, nurturing those 缅北强奸relationships paid off and Experiential Education & Career Services gains another alumnus employer nurturing their 缅北强奸relationship and recruiting the best talent during on-campus recruitment at career fairs.

Christine shares that the reason she chose 缅北强奸for her hospitality education is because she was attracted to the wide variety of courses offered. The other schools she considered only offered a core group of hospitality courses with very few elective options. As a result of her success at JWU, Christine’s younger sister Michelle followed in her sister’s footsteps to JWU. Following graduation, Michelle also started her career at Compass Group in the FLIK division keeping it all in the family.

Christine states: “I love to recruit 缅北强奸students. I think the wide variety of course topics really encourages the growth and learning mindset in students. This is important to us as a company because that growth mindset has really been a success factor for those participating in our internship and management development programs. As we continue to grow as a company, it has been great to welcome students who are ready and able to grow with us.”

Seeking the Best 缅北强奸Talent

Every day Amy is building relationships that are a fit for the employer and the 缅北强奸student or alumnus. She knows what Delaware North is looking for and what 缅北强奸students can bring to the table.

As a result, DNC now has a consistent presence at the career fairs and we partner with Patina Restaurant Group to show the synergy with the various companies providing more opportunities to 缅北强奸students.

Delaware North Builds Career Paths

Here is a peek at Delaware North’s commitment to building career paths for their employees:

Students with an associates degree and who are completing their bachelor’s degree can enter into the manager-in-training program and are trained during a two-year period as salaried associates. They are looking for a minimum of 3 years with sous chef experience prior to the training program and count your 缅北强奸education toward that experience. At the end of a successful training period you can expect to become a sous chef. Training includes four rotations of six months each with two rotations at Patina Restaurant Group and two with Delaware North. There are five alumni in the program now with three in the latest program that has begun.

Because Delaware North has a seasonal business model, they offer a 12-18-month training program for existing employees that requires traveling to the business in its highest season to train at a variety of venues. To be successful in this seasonal business model, chefs need to be flexible and travel a lot. For instance, with the MLB playoffs some chefs traveled to the Milwaukee Brewers. Now they are traveling to Patina properties and next will spend the holiday season at Rockefeller Center.

What this boils down to is that Delaware North is committed to getting their employees to the level they want to get to for themselves while ensuring that even executive chefs still cook. All executive chefs cook whether it is a $52 million venue or a suite supported stadium. They all butcher, do sauce development, use their knife skills, and all of them get Pro Chef or ACF Chef certifications. It is this commitment to investing in its employees and promoting from within, building relationships if you will, that makes Delaware North such a great employer partner for JWU.
