I don’t miss this job at all 😭😭😂😂 it was so BORING & annoying at the same time. Most of the time I was literally watching RU-vid and trying to stay awake & praying that nobody came in during audit or any late check ins or early check outs before morning shift came in Had a few annoying situations and glad I’m not in that field anymore
I'm about to start at aloft hotel training on Monday today is Friday as of now I was wondering if there are any tests that I need to be aware of the study for?
Hi Alex! I love your channel! Well only because I saw your hotel video! I love it! Im 13 and being in the hotel industry is my dream career. Specificly Hilton. If your still working at a hotel please do more! I love them!
@@anderbans, well I'm a lot shorter, so maybe it'll look the part on me. LOL. All kidding aside, that does seem like a small 35 liters. Thanks for the video, man.
As I stumbled upon a video showcasing the intricate workings of a hotel's night audit, I expected a mundane glimpse into routine tasks. However, what unfolded on screen was a revelation that would alter the course of my life forever. The quiet hum of the lobby at midnight, the meticulous balancing of accounts, and the solitary moments of reflection resonated deeply within me. In those fleeting minutes, I found myself captivated by the unseen heroism of the night auditor, a silent guardian ensuring the seamless orchestration of a bustling establishment while the world slept. The video's portrayal of solitude transformed into a profound reflection on self-reliance and responsibility, igniting a dormant spark within my soul. Inspired by the unseen dedication and unwavering commitment depicted in the video, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. With newfound determination, I pursued opportunities to immerse myself in the hospitality industry, craving the challenge and fulfillment found in the quiet hours of the night. That video, a mere glimpse into a world often overlooked, became the catalyst for a transformative chapter in my life. It taught me the power of embracing the unseen, the value of perseverance, and the beauty of finding purpose in unexpected places. Forever changed by its impact, I now stride forward with renewed passion, ready to embrace the challenges and triumphs that lie ahead.
I was a night auditor for 5 years. Aside from 5 weekends each summer (we had a NASCAR track close by) it was a fairly ok job. Drank coffee and watched t.v. in the lobby. Those 5 weekends though? Oh god. Doing laundry and folding sets from clock in to clock out.
I know this is posted two years ago but I got quick quest: How long did it take for you to get used to working overnight or were you always a night person? Considering doing overnight work myself and just looking into this sort of stuff (introvert and whatnot).
Hey! I've always been a night owl so it was pretty easy for me to get used to. Some people take naps during their shift after doing the final tasks, if it's dead enough (like a weeknight).
This video was very helpful I’m thinking about working a summer job at a hotel in a resort town on the East Coast I’ve been out of the game for a few years and I needed to do some homework before I go looking for a job so thank u for posting this video 👍🏾
I just started working N/A at Hotel in NC bout a month and a half ago. I was valet for year before that at same hotel. Im 49 and I love it. Honestly, I hope its the last job I have. Good pay and good benefits. Just being alone for 6 or 7 hours a night is great. So far, so good.❤
@@anderbans Thank you, man. That feels a little low from what I see around me. I'm near a college town in the middle of nowhere (probably not far from you). But, it's a huge state university of 100 000 peak time but a ghost town around Christmas or parts of the summer. It's full of apartment and town-house buildings/aggregates and too many hotels for it's size (events, conferences, ...etc). So, the most common gigs in demand are cleaning/maintenance and hotel security or overnight attendant/"auditor". They need so many of those these days (August) and the ads I saw for your gig are 16, 18, 23 an hour. I hope I can talk to you on skype/phone or something like that whenever your bored to share what I see and get some of your wisdom. Thanks again
Dear friend...I want to learn and work at the front desk. Could you please help me my friend ? I'm an Indian having a valid B1/B2 Visa. I can come anytime after February 2024 whenever you call me. Can I have your email id please to talk more about hospitality jobs if you don't mind. ? I'm a 52- year enthusiastic hardworking kind- hearted Optimistic lady. Thank you my friend.
I'm considering trying night audit at 65 with a spinal cord injury. I have balance issues and I walk very slowly. I live near a small resort town in West Kentucky. We have a Hampton Inn and a Days Inn. Both are small and more like a motel than a typical Hotel. Am I kidding myself or is this something I could realistically do? I didn't see anything in this video that I felt I couldn't handle.
I'm a 24 year old screwed up autistic shut-in that dislikes dealing with people and has sensory issues (My brain's fucked up and incorrectly processes certain specific normal everyday sensations as being weirdly unpleasant or outright painful, that's what I mean by "sensory issues". Thankfully there's lots of stimuli that my brain processes normally but enough normal stuff gets processed as pain that I lost my last job because it caused me to do the work too slowly). I have an interview for a night auditing position at a small motel in upstate NY today, will probably be able to get it because I can fake being normal decently enough in superficial interactions. I'm hoping that it'll be like this and be something that I can handle so I can finally become a semi-functional member of society. Thanks for the peek into the day-to-day of the job. Like I said, hope my location is as relaxed as this one.
This was pretty funny and really helpful. I go in on my first day here in like 40 minutes. Considering I worked 10pm to 7am at walmart. This shift won't be hard to get used to. Huge pay cut tho but I gotta do what I gotta do. Hopefully back at walmart in 6 months
I've worked night audit for years at many different branded hotels. I have always enjoyed it. Its easy, less people to deal with, no management or daytime players so less work drama. The cons are the eating and sleeping habits along with dealing with in house crap like drunks, druggies and noise complaints. Or when a full house/oversold and you have to walk the last few guests arriving to other hotels, they can get quite irate. In my current night audit position, I never see a guest or take a phone call. It's very peaceful to sit, drink coffee listen to the fire and netflix or music or night audit videos like yours haha! I love Opera it is by far the easiest system I have worked on and the end of day roll does everything like you said, years ago we had to use calculators and tally every single bill of the day. It was crazy balancing out all departments, especially when other workers were short or screwed up their bills and cashouts. It meant analyzing and finding the mistakes to fix them for the end of day. Those days are now like you said, a hit of a few buttons. I think if you like nights its a great hotel job.
There's always a story! Gotta love Opera. Been in hospitality for 29 yrs along with being an auditor, GM, AGM, FOM and everything in between. Use to be a great job but the 3rd parties and corporate guest have ruined the hospitality industry. No more Mom & Dads with the families, well at least few and far between. During the mid 2000's with all the credit card fraud that happened with the less than scrupulous auditors they simply made auditors glorified desk clerks taking away all their responsibilities of doing the accounting paperwork and balancing the hotel before running the audit. Which took most of the night. Use to be GM then Night Auditor in command. That's how important the Audit position was! We knew everything about the hotel and how it ran and we did it all on our own. Now auditors have to do all the frivolous crap like laundry, cleaning, etc. You new guys have no ides how easy you have it.
You took the words right out of my mouth! Brilliantly described. And factual too. I loved balancing all departments back in the day...shutting down the phone systems and sending the days reports electronically. Slowly when hotels started selling off to franchisees etc it all simplified. Way back we used to get drunk on shift hahaha good times staggering out at 0700 am. Times have majorly changed!
