Valets Jobs in Illinois

A valet in the hospitality service industry is primarily responsible for providing excellent customer service. They are expected to greet guests upon arrival, help with their luggage, park cars, and provide guests with information about the hotel or establishment. Valets should possess a comprehensive understanding of the services their employer offers so they can effectively answer guest inquiries. They are also expected to maintain a personable, professional demeanor at all times, as they are often the first point of contact for guests.

Important skills for a valet include strong communication, good physical fitness, the ability to multitask, and excellent driving skills. They should also have a clean driving record. In some regions, valets might need a special driver's license or certification that verifies their ability to safely operate a variety of vehicle types. Prior to becoming a valet, a person might start their career in the hospitality industry as a bellman, concierge, or a front desk agent. These roles can provide the necessary customer service experience and understanding of hotel operations that a valet needs.
