<p>禮拜五傍晚旅館公會會長 a.k.a. Chris Chang Dumortier 邀請我們坐她家的遊艇出海晃晃。據說過往只有第一屆實習生有榮幸獲此機會。我開心到擺出鐵達尼號 Pose，稍微放飛了自我。</p>
<p>與會長及會長先生享用完晚餐後拍紀念照時，隔壁遊艇傳來了 呼!一聲。因為我稍微放飛自我了，我就當打招呼 呼！回去。未料我的實習生同伴們笑到差點沒跌進海裡。會長也問了是什麼這麼好笑。</p>
<p>他們說：「剛才隔壁遊艇傳來了狗叫聲，下一秒我旁邊的人也發出了狗叫聲！🤣」</p>
<p>e04&hellip;&hellip;現在想起來還是很好笑，我明明沒喝酒啊。</p>

<p>Mia 一家讓我們偷渡進去他們的露營區。我也第一次划了 SUP、鴨子船等等，也在溪邊樹蔭下乘涼，之後記得要買雙溯溪鞋，不然冰冷的水流加上石床簡直像走在健康步道上一樣。</p>
<p>之後就泡泡泳池 SPA，簡單吃一吃就有勞 Mia 爸爸送我們回飯店了。</p>

<h3 id="catering--sales-行銷">Catering &amp; Sales 行銷</h3>
<p>Catering 中文叫什麼我不知道，就我來看像是會議安排。從銷售部門或其它地方收到生意時要去安排場地和製作與與會人員相關的東西，也跟 F&amp;B 討論餐點。</p>
<p>Sales a.k.a. 銷售部門，讓我認清人為了錢可以多沒血沒淚。三天的日子裡前兩天因為部門經理 Crystal Sierra 休假把我們踢給 HR，第三天才上了十分鐘班腦袋還沒開機時 Crystal 本人就把我們再踢給了 HR，因為他們搶到了大訂單，沒空！</p>
<p>等於我們根本沒在 Sales 學到東西，扯蛋🖕💢🖕</p>

<h3 id="security-保安">Security 保安</h3>
<p>Sales 第一天最終是 Security 接球。</p>
<p>看看監視器、聽聽無線電、也很意外 Security 認為最重要的是溝通技能，動手也僅限於防衛自己。</p>
<p>發現有遊民時出沒馬上出門趕人。有時是人多造勢，連其他部門經理聽到無線電有空就會跟著湊熱鬧。</p>
<p>趕走那位一絲不掛的遊民後 Security 對著我們講了一句：Welcome to Security!</p>
<p>第二天一樣去找 Security。但經理露出一副頭很痛的表情讓我們去溜狗。溜沒一個小時大家決定各自解散下班。</p>

<p>第三天由 Housekeeping 經理 Hong 接球。早上他本人也跟著做早操順便精神喊話，並表示：「早上先幫我忙，下午我們來個小約會！」之後被分去折棉被、毛巾、分抹布&hellip;&hellip;當然我做一個上午就受不了了。我這個人最討厭當生產線作業員。</p>
<p>以下節錄下午約會重點：</p>
<h4 id="與-mr-hong-的收尾座談">與 Mr. Hong 的收尾座談</h4>
<ul>
<li>愈往上爬愈需要表達能力，上司只看你的結果不看過程。</li>
<li>你們 Intern 只看得到表面，他們才不會在你們面前吵架。</li>
<li>不是不記仇，是不可以記，否則人家第一個弄你</li>
<li>文化有差異：美國人偏好超越對手而非拉下對方</li>
<li>職涯選擇中，你是否有這個決心在這裡混下去，萬一你混了多年沒成果你還要努力奮鬥多久？什麼時候放棄？</li>
<li>保留行內的人脈，為自己留後路</li>
<li>把握提升自己的機會，大到人家幹不掉你</li>
<li>自己要保護好自己</li>
<li>「能夠遇見願意帶你成長的主管非常少見」</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>利益在前，不留情面</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>同樣的，Mr. Hong 願意分這麼多時間給我們，我深表感激，謝謝您！</p>

<h3 id="結業典禮">結業典禮</h3>
<p>禮拜天結業典禮上老闆 Mr. Zen 請來的都是公會成員，換言之都是老闆級的人物</p>
<p>讓我不禁想：與其當老闆的狗做牛做馬，我是不是也可以創業當老闆呢？</p>
<p>典禮辦在 LA Prime。食物非常好吃，我可以理解為什麼會有人想舔盤子了。</p>
<p>我旁邊就是坐 John 大哥，他一聽就知道我在講鬼話應付他，於是他設法讓我說真心話：</p>
<blockquote>
<p>你覺得這次實習有沒有改變你的人生？</p>
</blockquote>
<p>有！至少我有個就業方向，總比去做超商好。</p>
<p>用完餐後就是我們五位實習生上台發表感言。我只記得要感謝各位賢達，剩下的都是即興發揮、見人說人話，說了我印象最深刻的幾件事。沒想到被稱讚我講的很好，我自己也不知道。</p>
<p>威士忌好烈，要套冰塊我才吞的下去。</p>
<p>解散前也和外交部紀欽耀處長聊天，聊聊外交官試驗前三個月報個補習班就好，有想考外交官可以聯絡他詢問一些眉角。</p>

<p>紅石公園無法深入走下去實在可惜，LV 的沙漠氣候讓我嘴唇乾裂，要狂灌水才會想上廁所，寧願多跑廁所也不要中暑！</p>
<p>也再次感謝 Mia 媽媽特地調整行程讓我們實習生跟，除了第一週外每個禮拜都有與 Mia 一家相處的記憶。</p>

<h3 id="啟程回台">啟程回台</h3>
<h4 id="早餐會">早餐會</h4>
<p>與 Mr. Zen 吃早餐。這一個月下來我們對彼此有更多了解也有更明確的問題方向。</p>
<p>期間也免不了閒聊啦。從教育聊到台灣的未來。Mr. Zen 父親就是做飯店的，他也從實習生開始做起，跑到農場實地勘察，也做起了期貨買賣，之後買下這家飯店。</p>
<p>疫情期間撐住沒有倒的原因是他們化解危機，讓醫護住進來賺他們的錢。貸款也是 55 貸，出一塊借一塊，沒欠銀行太多錢。</p>
<p>他覺得現在 Work from Home 趨勢下願意進公司的人更受主管青睞。</p>
<p>我很喜歡這些可以帶得走的觀念，比只能適用在特定地方的一發藝來說更有用。</p>
<p>這個實習計畫會辦到 Mr. Zen 退休為止，且參加且珍惜。</p>
<h4 id="晚餐會">晚餐會</h4>
<p>Mike Wang 王政煌前理事長？請我們在上飛機前吃頓飯。他是鼓勵 Mr. Zen 回饋鄉里的人，因此我很期待與他見面。</p>
<p>他還沒十歲就來了美國，因此當他接受中文採訪時往往需要翻譯。他也重新學習中文，可謂持續學習的榜樣。</p>
<p>Mike 送了我們五位各一本<a href="https://a.co/d/fyESU1A"
    title="https://a.co/d/fyESU1A"
    
      target="_blank" rel="noopener" 
   >
   The Shape of My Eyes
</a>，希望有助於我們了解自己。</p>
<p>晚餐時間不長，最有收穫的莫屬 Mike 說了：自己適合給人家請？還是自己作主？做個三年就會知道。</p>

<h4 id="lax">LAX</h4>
<p>隨著登機時間愈來愈近，我也一反如常的開始話多了起來。沒話找話聊也是想延長這段時光。</p>
<p>在要進安檢前的手扶梯上我一直揮著手，希望來送行的 Mia 一家回頭時可以看到，好在 Mia 回頭了，不然&hellip;&hellip;</p>
<hr>
<h2 id="總結">總結</h2>
<p>為期約 6 週的實習結束，有的人開始工作，有的前往國外留學，有的迎接開學。</p>
<p>而我將前往日本交換留學一年，希望能夠好好活用此次經驗在日本找工作。</p>
<p>在美國，你完成一件事人家會說 Perfect，在職場會鼓勵你 Keep going, don’t stop.</p>
<p>重要的是有自信、敢說、敢表現自己。我也發現世界不是只有台灣和日本，美國人的價值觀也遠遠不同於東亞。</p>
<p>我認識到自己英聽和口說哪部份有待加強，要重點練習。</p>
<p>也很感謝有機會離開亞洲開開眼界，實習生夥伴們，我們有緣再會！</p>

      <description> The Westin Bonaventure Hotel &amp;amp; Suites, Los Angeles 簡介 美國洛杉磯威斯汀博納旺蒂爾套房酒店(The Westin Bonaventure Hotel &amp;amp; Suites, Los Angeles)國際飯店實習築夢計畫 a.k.a. U.S. Summer Hospitality Management Training Program or 快樂夏令營，
由酒店所有人 Peter Zen 受同業 Mike Wang 鼓勵所創辦之回饋台灣鄉里計畫。提供台灣優秀學子學習美國的管理理念與經營方式，就算以後不做旅館業也能在各領域有所幫助。
實際上本次實習生也沒有一個是讀觀光旅遊類的。運氣不錯有幸錄取本次計畫，以下做心得報告兼回顧。
參加動機 首先，本人原本就讀電機系。在讀了兩次三電一工還是被死當達成實得必修 0 學分後決定休學。而這一休，就是兩年。這近兩年的尋找人生旅途上我連怎麼積分都忘了，就這樣在休學期間尾聲進入成功嶺接受降低智商課程。
原本想在退伍後去做超商，大學也不念了。好在同胞弟兄勸我大學都唸到一半了，還是把它唸完比較好。感謝他推我一把，讓我轉到現在的學校。主修也從電機轉到日文，本來就打算混個文憑就好。心態也是反正離畢業還兩年，再說啦。
沒想到被系上陰去修了一堂全英授課，拿過 0 學分的我只能硬著頭皮修下去。有天遇到教授問我說暑假想不想去美國做短期實習？二話不說馬上點頭，反正教授面試過覺得不合適就會刷掉我，走多遠算多遠。結果就是這篇文章誕生，現在想起來還是覺得我怎麼過面試的，哈哈。
正文 第一週(06/25 ~ 06/30) 概覽 第一天(6/26)，早上先製作員工名牌和識別證。三餐吃住全免，但限 B1 員工餐廳。我們早上跑去一樓要價 $36 USD 的餐廳說我們可以吃免錢ㄏㄏ。
接著開始跑大地遊戲，由各部門經理解說他們的工作職責、屬下平常有什麼業務等等。結束後請經理在檢查清單上簽名。
然後我因為時差關係接近中午就幾乎要閉上眼睛，只好在心裡請其他有精神的實習生多多加油(*´ڡ`●)。
Bonaventure 員工區域 Human Resource 人資部門，一位負責工傷、訴訟，一位負責招募員工，一位負責調解員工間的關係，一位負責調查失職和應對已離職員工的反撲。整個 HR 含經理才四個人，在實習期間也看得到 HR 跑遍各部門。

<p>人資部門，一位負責工傷、訴訟，一位負責招募員工，一位負責調解員工間的關係，一位負責調查失職和應對已離職員工的反撲。整個 HR 含經理才四個人，在實習期間也看得到 HR 跑遍各部門。</p>
<p>第二天(6/27) HR 來讓我們看新進員工的訓練影片，以及解釋 Bonaventure 從萬豪集團買了 The Westin 這個品牌，實際上由 Aimbridge 管理等等員工該要有的基本常識。</p>
<p>我過中午一樣開始眼睛睜不開，被講者特別點名。過沒多久後帶我們繞飯店並簡單介紹設施。</p>
<p>隔天(6/28)再由其他三位為我們解釋 HR 部門如何運作。</p>
<p>比較有印象的是：</p>
<ol>
<li>HR 每天要看那麼多履歷，要簡明扼要地寫下自己的優勢，讓 HR 覺得你是公司要找的人才。</li>
<li>美國工會很多，要開除員工必須經過完整調查，否則會很有可能反告公司。</li>
<li>HR 也負責調解人際關係，有很多事其實只是單方面看對方不順眼。</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="與老闆吃飯">與老闆吃飯</h3>
<p>禮拜五與 Mr. Zen 及公會會長 Chris 吃早餐，主要聊聊為什麼會來參加這個計畫、老闆幹古，最後建議我們西岸看過之後可以往紐約等東岸看看其它的大城市，又會是不同的體驗。</p>
<h3 id="假日">假日</h3>
<p>週休二日和見紅放。但旅館方沒人手帶我們出門，加上有一位疑似確診 Covid-19，剩下的人就在附近走走晃晃。</p>
<p>住當地的實習生帶了妹妹們進員工餐廳吃免錢飯，很溫馨。</p>

<h2 id="第二週0701--0707">第二週(07/01 ~ 07/07)</h2>
<h3 id="engineering-工程維修">Engineering 工程維修</h3>
<p>由部門經理 Daniel 帶我們實地走訪各設備，包括火災警鈴系統、煙霧警報器運作原理、熱水器、發電機、電梯監控、停機坪、迴轉餐廳等等。 跟在工程師背後看他們操作。樓上樓下到處跑，從通馬桶、插座跳電、換馬達等等硬體維修都是他們的工作。</p>
<p>經理表示預算由財政部門控制，所以例行性維修需要排程待修。印象中好像排到 1, 2 年後去了。</p>
<p>而這部門不收零基礎者，應徵者需要從職業學校畢業後當個木工等等累積了實務經驗後才會錄取。畢竟這麼大一間飯店只有 25 人的維修團隊肯定只收菁英，不收……</p>

<h3 id="housekeeping-and-laundry-房務--清洗">Housekeeping and Laundry 房務 &amp; 清洗</h3>
<p>部門經理 Hong 笑著表示：「你們來這裡對我而言沒有任何產值，頂多分裝咖啡包有實際效應。你們幫忙折毛巾只是爽到我的員工，我一個小時還是付他們那麼多錢。」</p>
<p>人很好，花了四個小時跟我們談了實話和分享管理經驗。也表示對其他經理來說若是我們沒有問題能問，那就下班再見。整間飯店那麼大，部門那麼多，願意花一個小時在我們身上的經理不包括他不會超過三位。實際上也剛好只有三位。</p>
<p>回到工作內容。200 多位部門員工裡放眼看有 9 成都是墨西哥裔，工作內容就是把東西放進機器，洗烘完了折好。</p>
<p>但一天的量超多，而且都是機械性動作。經理說他會要求員工每幾個小時換個動作，延長造成工傷的時間。</p>
<p>其他四位實習生被分派去當了無情的折毛巾機器人。我則是疑似被傳染病毒，在床上微燒了兩天，只參與了最後的與經理有約。</p>

<h3 id="front-desk-前台">Front Desk 前台</h3>
<p>會直面客人的有前台接待及行李員。這間的 Bell Desk 沒有標示，常常有客人跑錯地方 check in。後場則是總機在接電話。</p>
<p>行李員 &amp; 門口大爺主要是客人有需要服務就派人過去。沒事就站著等客人來問問題，挺好上手。也提醒我不要跟人家掛保證打包票，免得對方回來怪你。</p>
<p>前台主要協助入住、退房。看起來簡單但常常因房間或付款有問題讓處理一位客人的時間變長。我有天看到排隊排到繞了大廳半圈，生意超好。</p>
<p>總機，接不完的電話。要處理客人打的房內電話還要同事用無線電回報問題和電腦建檔紀錄，腦袋需要非常多工才能勝任。</p>
<p>第二天下午在接線員旁邊聽著我聽不懂的電話，一邊打了超大的哈欠。這時我的實習生夥伴進來叫我去前台幫忙，我還在納悶正職員工處理不來的事我怎會有辦法時，</p>
<p>原來是有位日本人因為是母親幫忙訂房但信用卡非本人照規定無法接受，原本英文還能溝通變成雞同鴨講。無奈只好拖著快睡著的我出來。這是我第一次也是最後一次在上班時間感到成就感的事，我確實解決了問題。</p>
<p>而雖說表定三天結束前台部門的訓練啦，但一天半就讓我們輪完所有工作了。經理底下的小主管還暗示說他們很忙快滾一邊去，讓我氣到現在。</p>
<p>好在第三天大老闆 Mr. Zen 請人來對我們上課，結束後接待搭僑計畫 12 位學生，直接解脫。</p>

</a>, Chris Chang Dumortier &amp; Peter Zen 共同為我們講述美國旅館業的現況。</p>
<p>由老闆 Mr. Zen 主辦，午餐期間用猜真話假話來破冰。戰爭從見面那刻就開始了，不枉費我特地睡了午覺來讓腦袋清醒些。</p>
<p>吃完飯就是上課。我原本以為有其他人一起聽，沒想到只有我們五位實習生及講師們，實在是太令人開心了，尤其是經歷過前面被當皮球踢的一天。</p>
<p>我還記得的重點有以下：</p>
<h3 id="旅館業風險管理">旅館業風險管理</h3>
<ul>
<li>人家要告你什麼話都說得出來，連你祖宗十八代一起告</li>
<li>好好保護自己 (ex: 合約、法人化 Incorporation、公司結構 Business structures (LLC, C-Crop))</li>
<li>現在重視 ESG。想跟人家合作還會問你 ESG 做得如何</li>
<li>人權(Rights)最貴，有拿 ADA 到處碰瓷的訟棍</li>
<li>風險管理執行：學習法律和保險系統(勞基法、食安法、消防、開業執照等等)</li>
<li>風險管理之一即是買保險，很貴的商品有部分是被保險吃掉</li>
</ul>

<p>一群人一下遊覽車首先見到的就是我們五位(或只有我)大喊「いらっしゃいませ」抬起頭來發現之前廣島大學遊學團的人在裡面，當場認親。感嘆世界真小。</p>
<p>晚宴上我只記得 Mr. Zen 說了美國其它餐廳端出來的都是馬鈴薯泥，他特地換成了南瓜泥，真的很好吃。以及搭僑學生們事後表示今晚是她們最放鬆的行程，其它地方不是見大老闆就是見政府官員，氣氛多半很嚴肅。</p>
