We have some great exciting news to share, Barcats has officially gone global! Launching into the UK on June 1st we are pleased to announce that your Barcats profile can help you find jobs not only all across Australia, but New Zealand and now the UK!

Hospitality exists everywhere, from the little corner cafe selling french pastries in Paris, to the local pub in London or the exquisite 5-star hotels in every beach location. Here’s how your hospitality skills can take you across the world to fulfil your mamma mia dreams.

Your soft skills are hot property
Communication, time management, empathy and initiative are highly sought after world wide, and after working in hospitality they’ll stick with you anywhere you go. In any career, any country and any social setting the soft skills hospo gives you are invaluable when making your way through life. 

There’s hospo in every corner of the world
Hospitality isn’t just at your local cafe or restaurants, it’s in every country in every town. This means that if you’ve got some hospo experience, it can be so easy for you to get a job overseas! Whether it be on a gap year, extended holiday or even long term, hospo is one industry guaranteed to be EVERYWHERE you go.

Ever heard of a working holiday? It’s ACTUALLY possible
Is your tik tok for you page filled with people working in hamilton island or even Bali for a working holiday? Everytime I see them I get jealous, it looks like a dream, but it’s actually real! Hotels are certainly one of the easiest ways to get into it. You could make coffees all morning as a barista and spend the afternoons on the beach, or have your days adventuring the island and serve as waiter by night! Kitchen hands, food and beverage attendants, baristas, waitstaff you name it, hotels need you! Perfect for a summer getaway that makes money instead of spending it all!

Can lead you to any career
Not only can hospo take you around the globe, it can also take you into many different career paths! As I mentioned before, the skills you learn from hospo are highly transferable, helping you transition into any career you desire! Hospo is the perfect place to start, take it from your favourite celebs! Harry Styles started in a Bakery, James Corden was a waiter, Lady Gaga a waitress, Margot Robbie in Subway.
