Being an intern in a five-star hotel is very unhappy. How should I adjust my mentality?

According to your description, you should be an intern in the catering department. Many interns are not used to it at first. After all, the work in the restaurant is dirty, tired and standing for a long time, and you leave early (early shift) and come back late (two shifts in the middle shift). In addition, the original staff of the hotel may have some crowding-out psychology towards interns, and it is normal for you to be unhappy. At this time, it is necessary to rely on self-psychological adjustment.

Personally, I think the greatest pressure on you should come from interpersonal relationships. First of all, you are more educated than them, and often they are wary of you. Plus, if you write all your dissatisfaction on your face, they will hate you even more and even report to the leader. To deal with such people, you should do the opposite. First, you should get on well with them, talk for a few more days after work, and have dinner together when you are free, which virtually relieves the tension among the staff. Also, don't have a bad attitude when talking to them. Don't show your dislike. Try to calm your emotions. If you want to get angry, count to ten first. If you think clearly, you don't want to be angry. In fact, if you think about it, you are more educated than them, and they are less educated, and of course their quality is relatively low. Is it worth messing with them? Is it valuable? It's not worth being angry with yourself.

When you go to work, be diligent and do what the leader tells you to do immediately, so that a good image will be formed in the eyes of the leader, and you don't have to be afraid of being reported by the villain. If the average employee asks you to do it, you can readily agree (but you should learn to distinguish between what belongs to your work scope and what belongs to them, not your own tactfully refusal), but don't take all the work on yourself, so those old employees will think that you are showing yourself. In short, you can quickly and accurately see what you should do, you can make rapid progress and have more room for growth. It's understandable to be slow at work at first, and I can't practice with a lot of plates in one hand (I practiced in a bar before, and I just started holding beer bottles on a tray, and after a long internship, I took four bottles at once), so don't be upset, I can take it slowly.

Blisters on my feet are very uncomfortable. This is because you usually sit at school and can't stand for that long at once, but you get used to it after standing for a month or two. Plus, the leader won't let you go to the early shift every year, but it will change after a while. If you don't change it for you then, you can ask her (him) politely, and most reasonable leaders will understand.

In the long run, you should consider your future. You should major in tourism or hotels. Now you have to think about whether you like this industry or not, especially now that you are an intern in a hotel. Think about whether you want to work in a hotel after graduation. If you want to, you should seize the opportunity now. After all, it is not easy for outsiders to work in a five-star hotel. Now you should learn more about the knowledge and theory inside the hotel to lay a good foundation for future job opportunities. Also, you can meet many guests in this position now. Guests in five-star hotels are generally of high quality, so you can deal with them more, which will be of great help to your future network development. Even if you don't work in a hotel, you have so many interpersonal resources that others can't buy with a lot of money, and it's much easier to change careers. I'm not afraid to tell you that the guests I met during my previous internship really played a lot of roles in my later life. When you think like this at work, you will feel much better, and no matter how tired you are, you will feel worthwhile.

After all, the school stipulates that the internship should take one year, and you can't be unhappy for one year. Relax and think about the future, and you will be much happier.
