There were a few difficulties that I had encounter in the Front
Office practical classes . One of the difficulties that I had was remembering the standard operation procedures for checking in the guest process . It wasnt very difficult but at times there are a few steps that I might forgot along the process which frustrates me at times . Furthermore , the opera system could be difficult for me to handle at times . For instances , I could not remember which page was it for the exchange rate , therefore I could use up my time just to look for it . One way that I felt that it could help me improve my weaknesses is to practice more in a role play way to improve my standard operation procedures . With the help of a friend , I could practice more like a real situation and I can remember the procedures better . As for the opera systems , I can also improve by practicing more on how to use it . Click on every page to learn more about it to ensure I am better in the future . 2. One of the Taylors Graduate Capabilities [TGC] that helped me complete my checking in the guest assessment is the first TGC 2 , lifelong learning , which means I am able to locate and extract information effectively and able to relate learned knowledge to everyday life . I am able to learn and apply both Checking in , checking out procedures effective and efficient in the future as I will enroll myself into the Front Office department . The second TGC that helped me was TGC 4 , communication skills which means I am able to communicate appropriately in various settings and modes . The assessment requires me to speak directly and one on one with my lecturer . Therefore I have to talk clearly and loudly to ensure he hears me . I am able to improve my communications skills a lot after completing my assessment . The third TGC that helped me was TGC 3 , thinking and problem solving skills . I am able to learn and think critically and creatively , and able to define and analyse problems to arrive at effective solutions . During the assessment , the lecturer gave me several situation for me to solved . For instance , he needs a wake up call in the morning , therefore I need to think effectively to ensure he gets the wake up call on time and I am needed to key in the information correctly in the PMS system . 3. The area that I understood well was the checking in lesson . I understood the importance of the process therefore I have to pay more attention to it . The checking in process is an important part of the guest cycle process . By handling the standard operations procedures perfectly , the guest would be happy and the standard of the hotel will be well maintain . Therefore I understood the importance of this topic very well .
