From finance manager to general manager
Question
I'm a 51-year-old financial controller of a construction company. Four years ago I worked in a four-star hotel and was manager of the administration and finance department. My dream is to re-establish myself in the hotel industry.
I've recently applied for a general manager position in a 30-bedroom, three-star hotel and have been selected for an interview. However, I'm not sure whether I should attend the interview, because I don't have work experience in a general manager position. I am keen to take on the challenge and responsibility, though. What do you think I should do?
