ANGELS FROM NORTH EAST INDIA......21

"I LOVE MY JOB"
                                    


"In just five months seven guests have appreciated my service through the guest comments cards. This makes me very happy. More than the guests, when my supervisor Arvind Sir appreciates me on my work, I will be happier. I really love my job. I am very proud that I am part of Oberoi group" says Shairing Zimik (20), the Manipur girl who is presently working as an Operational Trainee in The Oberoi Grand, Kolkata.

"Two more classmates of mine, both from Shillong are working in this hotel as Operational Trainees- Medha is in Front Office and Taphi in the Kitchen."Shillong has only two star and three star properties. It is my luck that I got job in this iconic hotel" says Zimik, a district basketball player.

I do fully agree with Zimik. In fact, I have been associated with The Oberoi Grand, Kolkata since 2006. This hotel has a charm of its own. I was very impressed by the patronage of international business travelers which happens to be one of the greatest assets to this hotel. In my observation, for many business travelers, it is a place where one can do business in true international style and comfort with its technologically advanced business centres, in the warmth of a home.

                                   
Zimik's father is a Govt servant, mother a homemaker. Zimik is the youngest. She has two elder brothers and two elder sisters.

"Every day" informs Zimik, "I will be talking to my sister Tamsingphi over phone".

Says Abhishek Maithani, the Executive Housekeeper of this hotel:"Zimik has picked up the work very quickly. She is soft spoken, but whenever it is needed she is firm. Very popular with the guests. Career oriented girl, undoubtedly".

Watching Korean movies is her hobby.
