Show, Christine sits down with hospitality educator Julia Krebs to unpack a powerful classroom experiment that turned into an industry wake-up call. When students were asked to review real hotel job descriptions, the feedback was blunt, honest, and impossible to ignore.๐Ÿ’ก Four Key Learnings-Most job descriptions focus on what the company needs, not what the candidate gains-Young talent is actively looking for mentorship, growth, and meaning, not just tasks-The tone and energy of a job ad directly influence who applies (or doesnโ€™t)-Culture fit matters more than clever titles when clarity is missingโœ… Three Action Items You Can Take Today-Rewrite one job description using โ€œyouโ€ more than โ€œweโ€-Add a clear line about mentorship, growth, or learning opportunities-Review your hiring language and ask, โ€œWould I apply for this today?โ€
