"Someone who has tertiary education, not necessarily in hotel management, but somebody who has worked at least three years in the field. We are looking to train successful persons. Anyone with strong leadership qualities."

According to the initial classified ad, the entity is on the lookout for a manager who "Must have related managerial experience and/or bachelor's or diploma in related discipline" and "must live in Portmore". Persons are expected to turn up for the job interview with an open mind and observe standard procedures, the administrator added.
