What do you love about your job?
The variety and pace - no two days are the same. I love learning about people's individual journeys and motivations, which ultimately helps me land them their dream roles!
Top three tips when applying for a job with us?
1. Know your strengths and don't be afraid to sell yourself. We want to hear what you can bring to the table and there is nothing wrong with highlighting what you think you're good at!
2. Ask lots of questions - its always worth having a bank of questions prepared, it shows you've put thought into your application.
3. Do your research - M&B is a vast organisation with a wide portfolio of brands. Make sure your research goes further than our corporate homepage - dig a little deeper into the specific business you're applying to!
Hospitality is a people-first industry, so let your energy and personality shine. Greet confidently and keep your tone friendly and positive. Employers notice genuine enthusiasm, be yourself and show your passion.
Prepare great examples for your interview
Be ready with two or three stories that highlight how you've supported guests, solved problems, or gone the extra mile. Use clear examples to show patience, teamwork, and initiative, even from non-hospitality roles. Specific wins help employers picture you delivering the same standard for their guests.
Show you embrace change and challenge
High-volume settings move fast, so embrace change, variety, and teamwork. Show you're open to different shifts, tasks, and learning new systems or service styles. A positive, can-do attitude often matters more than experience so lean into growth.
