Typical Qualifications
Background and training required varies by management title and duties involved. Industry experience has proven to be an essential qualification for nearly any management occupation within the lodging industry.
Industry experience is the most basic qualification for a management occupation in a hotel. A degree in Hospitality management studies, Human Research or an equivalent Business degree is often required or strongly preferred. A graduate degree may be desired for a General Manager position but is often not required with sufficient management experience and tenure. A graduate degree may however be required for a corporate executive position or above such as a Regional Vice President who oversees multiple hotel properties and General Managers.

Famous quotes containing the word typical:
“Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street.... He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper. The difference between a thinker and a newspaperman is that a thinker enters right into things, a newspaperman is superficial.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
