Storytelling:
Tell me about your busy day, walk me through it from start to finish.
Today is a busy day because I got up at 6:40 and after preparing myself I went to work. And I started to at lobby area at 8:15 to greeting guest. And assisting guest with their issues, then I went back to my office at 8:45 to have the sales and marketing department morning meeting. Afterwards I attend another meeting at 9:30, that meeting was quite long it took almost 1 hour to finish. After the meeting I started my work, I checked my email and watched my schedule to make a days working plan. At one o’clock in the afternoon I’m working for photo shoot, it’s for the Chinese restaurants new promotion. After that I go back to office to preparing some P-P-T and checked the social media to response some guests comments, then is the debriefing time. That’s my whole day.

Edit Together:
Today was a busy day at work. I woke up at 6:40 and I went to work after getting ready. I started in the lobby area at 8:15 to greet guests, and assist guests with their issues. Afterwards, I went back to my office at 8:45 to attend the sales and marketing department morning meeting. Then I attended another meeting at 9:30, that meeting was quite long it took almost 1 hour to finish. After the second/that meeting I started my day, I checked my email and schedule to make a plan for the day. At one o’clock in the afternoon I went to manage/oversee a photo shoot, it was for the Chinese restaurants new promotion. After that I went back to office to prepare a PowerPoint and checked the social media in order to respond to some guest’s comments, then it was the debriefing time. That makes my day/ that was my whole day.
