A very gratifying and satisfying way for me to begin my "career proper". I was fortunate to get the opportunity to work as a Travel Assistant at a Semi government company in Sri Lanka.
Ceylon Hotels Corporation, having commenced business in 1967, boasts a diverse collection of 19 hotels, rest houses, resorts and restaurants throughout Sri Lanka, many of which offer an old world charm providing clients with something quintessentially local in the most picturesque and prominent locations known to man. Many are within a few kilometers to renowned historical sites and attractions.
I was in charge on all the reservations at "Travel Bureau" and it was certainly a very important "learning lesson" where I realized how vital it is to develop a winning personality and a positive attitude, which has helped me immensely in my career to date.
