PLACEMENT CORNER
TESTIMONIAL FROM MR.SAMAN KV
Hello friends! Let me introduce myself, I am Saman KV, right now working as Steward at Paragon Group of Hotels, Calicut. So when I mention myself a steward it’s important that I should say how I am here.
I was a plus two humanities student of GHSS Thalapuzha, a student who scores a bare minimum pass mark to clear the hurdles called Exam. Yes not a bright performer, like most of the students. And when every bright student in the class had their own ideas of what next, I was just a big question mark for myself, parents and teachers. At that point, I came to know about Summer Skill Skool by ASAP through the orientation program at school. Out of family pressure, and as most of my friends planned joining to ASAP, I too attended the selection process and enrolled to the batch of Food and Beverage Service Steward at SDC GVHSS Mananthavady.
Initially when the classes began in the summer vacation, I had a feeling that it was a wrong choice I made, instead of playing and enjoying vacation, I opted to stay in a classroom for classes! But as classes commenced and I got involved in the activities and practical sessions, my interest for the subject grew. I started feeling that this was what I was looking for, this is my passion. Visits to Hotels, resorts in between the course, gave me an insight of the possibility of FBS and hospitality sector. And in amidst of the summer course, my results of plus two exams were, published and I scored just 60%. Thus I decided to have a break from my academics, I determined to find a job. And I remembered that we were promised by our programme manager that if we were willing, ASAP would place us on our need. I approached Ms.Monisha Mohanan ,Programme Manager in charge of SDC and Placement
