Management
The JWU student’s organization is a body made up of students undertaking business-oriented courses in my school. The organization is made up of 55 students from various departments in the Faculty of hotel and lodging management. The main objective of the students is to nurture their skills in business. The organization carries out the obligation of enlightening young entrepreneurs on how to invest and where to invest. The organization advocates for the dissemination of business-related knowledge and advice, especially to upcoming investors.
One of the greatest reasons as to why I enrolled in the organization is to nurture my skills in management as my prime career. As an undergraduate student, the JWU association is capable of providing ideas in hotel and lodging management and the required knowledge in the field.
This is because it hosts open forums and conferences for business career talks every semester. It is through these activities that students are trained to think and stretch their creative capacities when it comes to hotel and lodging management. It is for this reason that the organization holds meetings every Tuesday to discuss the success of the organization. Despite the weekly meetings that are held every Tuesday, the organization also holds one annual meeting every January to elect new leaders and set the year’s goals.
An organization like the Mc Donald’s group of restaurants is a good example of a professional organization that is important to me as far as measuring my goals is concerned. This is because the organization’s management strategies inspire me so much in nurturing my hotel management skills. Mc Donald’s management strategies are professional and internationally applied. The strategies include researching and giving reports accruing from the researches done especially by marketing management. This helps the organization discover its strengths and weaknesses and hence act on the reports accordingly for the achievement of its set goals.
The strategies also enable the organization to discover its potential customers and hence come up with the right customer retention strategies. It is also through the strategic plans of the organization that I can realize that it is important for an organization to come up with budgets that will ensure the swift running of the organization.

Lessons learned from the interview
From the interview on management strategies, I have learned that a management body has a big obligation in an organization and that an organization cannot thrive without it. It is also worth noting that a management body promotes the aspirations of all the people who operate or work under its umbrella. It embodies their dreams and aspirations but it can also be a source for dissent and frustration for certain people if not well managed.
It is beyond doubt that a profit-making organization cannot survive without customers. Customers are the lifeline by which organizations thrive. The management plays the overwhelming role of marketing the products and services hence its significance in the organization. I would like to assert that my career in management is marketable. This has however been made possible because I have been able to get vital lessons from the interview.
