Who we are looking for:

1. You are reliable.

You know that this will be a nice thing to see in your teammates. You give that respect and you expect it back.

2. You have integrity. You understand guests and team members depend on your best behavior, and you are excited to deliver it in a disciplined manner for common good.

3. You are passionate about personal growth. You know you want to learn, grow and prosper and you are ready to make efforts to improve yourself along the way and keep planning and dreaming up ways on how to better yourself. You always strive to accomplish more even when others don' see anything else that needs to be done.

4. You are humble. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but being able to put the ego aside to accept it and let the more experienced team members teach us, will make a big difference in our ability to learn and grow.

5. You are diplomatic and wise in communication. You often think about and have a good understanding of the impact your words, body language, and attitude have on people. You are naturally aware what and when might be good, or not good, to say.
