Explanation:
In this passage, Amelia Humber talks about her career in the hospitality industry. She started working as a chambermaid while she was still at school and eventually left school to work fulltime. However, she realized that if she didn't want to continue doing hard work for the rest of her life, she needed to pursue further education. She went back to college and obtained an NVQ in hospitality, which taught her the business side of the practical work she was doing.

After the completion of her education, Amelia worked as a receptionist and gradually gained more responsibility in her job. She learned about the financial aspects of running a hotel and how to delegate money to different departments. Her dedication and hard work earned her the trust and respect of her employers.

Amelia was later awarded with an assistant housekeeper job, which she compares to vocational training. This job allowed her to learn new skills on the job and contributed to her diploma in hotel management. After a few years, she joined the hotel chain Novotel and eventually got promoted to head housekeeper.

Due to the demanding nature of the job and the arrival of her children, Amelia couldn't continue working in the head housekeeper position full-time. However, she managed to find a job share arrangement and returned to full-time work once her children were all attending school.

After gaining 15 years of experience in her position, Amelia and her husband decided to convert their house into a Bed and Breakfast. This decision was made possible because of her experience as a housekeeper. Being a housekeeper requires great people skills and the ability to stand your ground. Despite the challenges, it is a rewarding job that brings a huge amount of satisfaction if done well.
