\nPersonnel Officer<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When did you join Hyatt?<\/strong> August 13, 2007<\/p>\n

Why do you like working with Hyatt?<\/strong> Hyatt is a great company. It has great benefits and loving and caring people. I also stay because I enjoy and take pride in what I do, and, most importantly, the new and great challenges ahead, the responsibilities that come with it, and the support I get from my colleagues. And the best part of the day is knowing that I\u2019ve made a difference today and look forward to tomorrow. No matter how hectic the day may seem, always maintain a positive outlook, be patient and continue smiling.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in five years (with Hyatt)?<\/strong> Besides slight wrinkles and grey hair, definitely with more responsibilities in a higher capacity. And I look forward to our continuous journey.<\/p>\n

Please describe your experience with Hyatt.<\/strong> Hyatt has given me many opportunities. I\u2019ve learned so much not only with our daily operations but the mentorship of superiors. Without their (family, colleagues, and company) love and support, I wouldn\u2019t have made it this far. The people I work with are not just associates; I consider them family.<\/p>\n

How would you describe to someone your experience with Hyatt?<\/strong> There may be times when I feel overwhelmed, times where I feel that it\u2019s not enough, times where I can do more, and the best part of it all is when I feel accomplished. Working for Hyatt not just because it\u2019s a \u201cbrand.\u201d Hyatt has standards that give you passion to do the things you can achieve, the challenges you encounter and challenges overcome. It\u2019s a company that cares for its employees and the company. Hyatt stands by its purpose: \u201cWe care for people so they can be their best.\u201d So if anyone asks me where I work, I\u2019ll proudly say, I work at Hyatt. With that, I am very thankful for the wonderful blessings, Hyatt, and it\u2019s wonderful associates.<\/p>\n

\nAssistant Manager, Kili Cafe<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When did you join Hyatt?<\/strong> I joined Hyatt in September 2010, as a Club at the Hyatt clerk\/restaurant reservation admin.<\/p>\n

What made you stay with Hyatt?<\/strong> Some join to build r\u00e9sum\u00e9 or for the international brand. For me, I stay because I love the challenge, the energy, and most of all, I love my team who has a similar goal to exceed guest satisfaction and showcase our island’s hafa adai hospitality.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in five years (with Hyatt)?<\/strong> I want to see myself working on getting a bachelor\u2019s and being an outlet manager at Kili Cafe & Terrace.<\/p>\n

Please describe your experiences at Hyatt.<\/strong> \u201cIf everybody wants happiness and no one wants pain, you can’t have a rainbow without a little rain.” Being part of Hyatt isn’t easy; it’s a whole lot of hard work and commitment. But at the end of it all, Hyatt gave me the training and the opportunity to be the Hyatt management member that I am today.<\/p>\n

How would you describe to someone your experience with Hyatt?<\/strong> It’s rewarding. Being part of Hyatt family for seven-plus years now, I don’t see myself going anywhere else.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When did you join Hyatt?<\/strong> I joined Hyatt Regency Saipan on March 10, 2009.<\/p>\n

What made you stay with Hyatt?<\/strong> I grew up during my eight years at Hyatt Regency Saipan. I have learned so much. I have encountered challenges that keep me focused on my career and development. There is no other hotel that makes you feel like a family. It is family-oriented and cares for you.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in five years (with Hyatt)?<\/strong> I see myself improving and become a better chef. I still a lot to learn and still have a lot to accomplish. Hyatt has great leadership and my goal is become one day become a leader in the hotel.<\/p>\n

Describe your experiences at Hyatt.<\/strong> My experience are both challenging and inspiring. The challenge is because I have been in situations where I had to lead and I had to be creative and be sure on my actions and decisions. I got a chance to work with chefs with different backgrounds and cultures, chefs who show passion in every aspect, who create great food for our customers.<\/p>\n

GINO LIBUW<\/strong>
\nClub Elan Supervisor<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When did you join Hyatt?<\/strong> Aug. 28, 2008<\/p>\n

What made you stay with Hyatt?<\/strong> When I first joined the company, it was just a working place for me. It didn\u2019t feel encouraging. Years went by and things have changed. I now feel like the company is my second home. My colleagues are like brothers and sisters to me. I started to notice that I would learn new things everyday and meet different people. Also, the trainings that we had made me want to stay and learn more.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in five years (with Hyatt)?<\/strong> I still see myself with the company as a manager at a recreation side. I am already in management but I still want to learn more.<\/p>\n

Describe your experience with Hyatt.<\/strong> When I first came in to the company, I didn\u2019t understand most of the operation at my working area or anything about guest satisfaction. Now I can say I am comfortable and able to assist with guest needs and also master my workplace operation.<\/p>\n

How would you describe to someone your experience with Hyatt?<\/strong> I will tell people that Hyatt treats its employees as family and you can also learn a lot of things from their training. They can train you to not just become a good employee but also learn their standards.<\/p>\n

BRENDA VILLAGOMEZ<\/strong>
\nPurchasing Manager<\/em><\/p>\n

When did you join Hyatt?<\/strong> April 24, 1994.<\/p>\n

What made you stay with Hyatt?<\/strong> Hyatt is one of the big companies on island that I’ve tried working for, and I felt connected instantly because the employees are professional toward guests and other staff. The company also offers great benefits. I enjoy working for the Hyatt because every day is an opportunity to learn new things and learn to accept challenges.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in five years (with Hyatt)?<\/strong> I hope to still be working for Hyatt in the next five years.<\/p>\n

Describe your experiences at Hyatt.<\/strong> When I first joined the company I had few experiences in the hospitality industry. Today, Hyatt has filled me with a lot of knowledge that we pass to other employees, trainings to be more professional in our work, provides opportunities to grow and, being a multicultural industry, Hyatt has also taught me to love, respect and care for not just the people around at my workplace but also in the community. Overall, I feel that Hyatt is my second home.<\/p>\n

How would you describe to someone your experience with Hyatt?<\/strong> There is no other place to appreciate more of what the company could offer and an opportunity of a lifetime.<\/p>\n
