Recently, I had a thought-provoking conversation with a Hotel Manager responsible for hiring and training housekeeping staff in India—a role that often attracts individuals with little to no prior experience. Given the entry-level nature of the job, I was curious about how he identifies the right talent.His hiring process hinges on two simple, yet powerful, questions:- "What is your ambition?"- "What is one thing you’ve done recently to bring yourself closer to that ambition?"He isn't just looking for qualifications or technical skill. Instead, he seeks someone who is both a *dreamer* and a *doer*. Someone who, despite the odds, carries a spark of aspiration and the drive to turn it into reality.To him, it’s not about experience—it’s about mindset. Those who have ambition paired with action, no matter how small, are the ones who will rise beyond the challenges of the job and, ultimately, beyond the confines of where they started.
