Porter Jobs in New York

They are primarily responsible for assisting guests with their luggage, guiding them to their rooms, and providing general information about the hotel or lodging facility and its services. This includes showing them where facilities such as the restaurant, fitness center, business center are located. Furthermore, Porters also often assist in other areas such as maintaining cleanliness in public areas, coordinating with housekeeping and maintenance departments, and sometimes handling minor maintenance tasks.

Essential skills for a Porter include strong customer service skills, physical stamina, attention to detail, and the ability to work in a team. They should also be familiar with the layout of the property and available services. Some employers may require a high school diploma or equivalent. Previous work experience in hospitality, such as working as a Concierge, Bellhop, or Housekeeper, could be advantageous for a person aiming to become a Porter.
