They are building a new Hampton Inn in my city and I am more than interested in seeing what they have to offer, they are reportedly opening in about 3 months but so far there is nothing on local job boards, the Hampton Inn website, the newspapers, or hcareers. There is NO link on the page to apply for Canadian jobs, if you click on the “Outside US” option it takes you to European/Asian locations. I have combed the website, site map, followed every link in circles, etc-nothing. I would really like to find out more information and I know they should be hiring soon, I would think they would be interested in getting experienced staff quickly, with 19 years in the industry I would hope to god I am an asset to someone. I even emailed the Director of Regional Franchising, there was a contact list for that on the site- no reply. I’m just extremely frustrated, I need to make some career decisions ASAP and would like to know am I staying at or going from my current property, should I hang on another year and move out of the province etc, I know I want out but I want a logical progression upward in my career options, and I can’t really wait until the place is open to make my choices!
