Fall 2008



I have always loved this time of year and the feeling of change in the air. It is fitting that these months have also brought so much change to CCC. It has been a busy fall for us CCC staffers, and we are so excited to turn over the new CCC leaf. 

First, check out our new website! Not only do we look more sophisticated, we have increased our functionality so that you can find more information, resources and opportunities to network with your peers with less time and effort.  Check out our blogs for our workshop series on key topics such as how to improve your application essay, or how to maintain your health while away from home. Browse through our database called CCCpedia, which includes over 3,000 college scholarships and over $5.8 million in financial aid specifically for young adult cancer survivors.

Secondly, CCC is beginning to grow.  We are collaborating with other organizations that serve young adult cancer survivors to increase our scope of impact on this population. We recently partnered with the LAF, NSPA and RAI among others, and are looking forward to attending the Young Adult Alliance Conference in Austin next month. We truly believe that by working together we will improve college access and success rates for young adult cancer survivors.

Finally, get ready for the 2009 CCC Scholarship kick-off on Nov.1!  We have spent the fall collaborating with Scholar Select to streamline our online application process making it even more user-friendly for our applicants, which means less time with applications and more time with you!  Our goal this year is to give personal attention to each applicant so that no survivor must navigate the financial road to college alone.

Yes, I admit that change is often scary.  Yet we must remember that change also brings the possibility for new opportunities and experiences.  It is in this spirit that we have worked so hard to embrace and create change at CCC.  We thank you for your support during this period of transition and hope that you will join us in the exciting journey ahead.

Best Wishes,

Jamie Corder 
Executive Director, CCC

身邊親近的人。若妳想比平常人更快、賺更多的錢,那酒店工作時間酒店是一個管道,但這之間的得失入行前先考慮清楚。4.酒店收入、酒店薪資一個月多少?收入多寡取決於妳的態度與決心!大概的保守行情一天最差也有3,000元,而用心且有手腕的姐妹一天6,000~8,000以上不是問題,一個月可賺多少錢,就看妳的出勤天數了!想要再增加收入,可從外型與手腕(如口條、談話、撒嬌等)加強。外型方面只要【不過胖】都很好上檯,況且女人都是靠包裝的!現在化妝技術太專業了,要變成美女不是問題。而手腕是可以學習的,雖然這也是很講求天份和個性,但沒有賺不到錢的公關,酒店扣錢只有不願意學習的姐妹。只要妳付出的方向是正確的,就會有讓自己滿意的收入!5.踏入酒店前,妳一定要知道的幾件事!酒店公關一定要有S嗎?!巧遇國中同學或鄰居,妳該怎麼辦?!時常全身酒味如何向家人、男友說明?!酒店上班遇臨檢會不會留下紀錄?!會不會舊人欺負新人?!遇到蠻橫不講理的客人,怎麼自保?!會不會有亂扣薪資問題?!酒店打工的髮妝該如何準備?!薪資明細上的扣項,如清潔費、酒店都在幹嘛櫃子等等是什麼意思呢?!癡漢型客人,向我要電話該怎麼應對?!臨時請假會扣薪資嗎?!什麼是「桌面服務」?!我酒量不好也不會喊酒拳,怎麼辦?!以上舉例情境,是讓妳不要有衝動入行的念頭,畢竟八大行業不是慈善機構,只有不動搖的決心與態度,才是最佳武器。當然,我們後續文章都有應對方式。或欲知實情,請線上詳談或來電詢問!6.酒店「S」是什麼?!我不接「S」,可以到酒店上班嗎?! 如何拒絕酒店「S」?!「S」是從英文sex或special演變而來。在酒店的術語就是,公關與客人私下「發生關係的交易」。若有強迫接「S」的店家,除了違法外,再也無法招募新公關,更會被經紀公司抵制。而店家的消費帳單上,也沒有「S」的相關明細。當然有些公關在缺錢的情況下,私下和客人「出場」,但在雙方都沒有保障的情況下,就會容易發生社會新聞,如「不做安全措施」、「金額不符」、「仙人跳」、甚至還有「暴力行為」等等。店家懇求妳加班都不敢違反個人意願,當然更不敢勉強妳接「S」。假使客人一直私下詢問,妳只要態度委婉但立場堅定說:「NO!」、「我沒有S耶!」、「我們才剛認識耶!你對女孩都那麼直接嗎?!」,切記!會勉強妳的客人,對妳而言就不是好客人,寧可換桌也不用讓自己為難。【冒險】與【保險】雖然只差一個字,但結果會天差地遠。7.應徵酒店【行政助理】、【公主】(真的假的?!) 酒店的行政人員,一定要有酒店相關經驗(當過酒店公關或有客源),本身有待過現場運作,了解酒店的生態與屬性才能酒店取名任職!事實上,酒店最不缺的就是行政人員,一般都由內部能力好的男少爺升任,所以酒店行政幾乎是不對外應徵,很少對【非八大】招募,除非是內定名額(如親叔叔是老闆)。目前酒店聘請的女行政還是以歐巴桑為主,就是所謂的「阿姨」。既然只是應徵保姆性質,何必請年輕貌美呢?!至於應徵是否掛羊頭賣狗肉(最後洗腦妳做公關-後續文章有網友投書)!妳當然可以去試試看,但該死心時
