Keshia Sinivassagan, Trainee cook: “I have conditioned myself to work odd and irregular hours”

Keshia is actually a trainee cook at Le Mauricia Beachcomber Hotel. It is the first time that she will not celebrate her New Year with her family and friends. Ambitious as she is, Keshia is very devoted to her work and is conscious of the sacrifice she has to make. “Being in the hotel industry, I have conditioned myself to working odd and irregular hours. A hotel operates 7/7 and 24 hours a day. The month of December is peak time, as the hotel is fully booked. There is a degree of sacrifice as not being present with family at home to celebrate New Year’s Eve but for me, Le Mauricia team is not less than my family members. I will be surrounded with by my colleagues and will experience the atmosphere that prevails during this special day at work,” she says. Keshia is expecting the night of 31st December to be magical and captivating. “There will a frantic pace of work to ensure customer’s satisfaction at all times. Being my 1st experience working with Le Mauricia team during this festive season, it will enhance my confidence to handle hectic workloads and create a strong team spirit. With the laughter of clients reverberating in each corner and with a smile on each team member’s face. The hotel will be marvellously decorated and chocolate gift boxes being shared among staff and customers,” she points out.
