Last week, I had the pleasure of catching up with Summer, who has worked across various Federal Hospitality venues. I first met Summer during her initial interview in June 2024, and from the moment we met, I knew she would be a great fit for our business. Summer shared her experience of working with Federal Hospitality and a little about herself, enjoy!

Lauren, Talent Acquisition Advisor 

 


 

Why did you choose Federal Hospitality as your employer?

I had always heard great things about Federal Hospitalty and admired its strong reputation. I had been consistently applying for opportunities, and one day I received a call from Lauren regarding a role in the Food & Beverage team. That’s when my journey with Federal Hospitality began and I started my career at Landscape Restaurant in the Henry Jones Art Hotel. 

 

What roles have you held with us over time?

Currently, I work as a Food & Beverage Attendant, moving between various restaurants within Federal Hospitality, including Longhorn, Landscape, and Old Wharf. This has given me the chance to gain valuable experience in different environments, helping me build a strong understanding of the industry.

 

Tell us about the last few years of your work experience?

I’ve been living in Tasmania for almost six years. During that time, I worked as a barista at a local café while studying cookery and also gained experience at restaurants like Mures and the Crown Plaza Hotel. With the knowledge and skills I developed, I transitioned into my current role as a Food & Beverage Attendant. 

 

Tell us something people are often suprised to hear about you

My favorite animal is a rat, which often surprises people. I love them because, unlike dogs that look up to you or cats that look down on you, rats see you as a friend. I grew up with small animals, and that connection always stuck with me. I also enjoy riding beam scooters around Hobart, and I can eat an 800g steak in one sitting!

 

Thanks Summer, I really appreciate you sharing your experience with us!
