<p>Don’t say your proficient in Microsoft Office unless you REALLY are. Freshman Hotelies take an entire course on it. You seem like a good candidate but you need to demonstrate an interest in hospitality. Dunkin Donuts is legit, just make sure you can explain how your work there will be applicable, etc.</p>

<p>lol tgc802! SO TRUE. Every year, there are a handful of people that think they know everything about Microsoft office, but they are so wrong. In the first class, the professor asked “So who here thinks they know Microsoft Office well?”. One kid raised his hand. Let’s just say he was completely humiliated a few minutes later…</p>
