Hotel Front Desk Agent

Hotel Front Desk Agent

Hotel Front Desk

Los Angeles, CA

Male, 27

For the past two years I've worked the front desk at a boutique luxury beachfront hotel in Southern California. My job can range from simply checking guests in & out to many other duties, including: pretending I work in different departments so that behind-the-scenes chaos is never seen by a guest, shielding guests from stalkers that come looking for them, and picking up used drug paraphernalia from a trashed room. Ask me anything.

I returned from extensive travel and currently applying for work. My interest (and qualifications) are working as a Hotel Desk Agent.
Although I know there cannot be age discrimination... is it unlikely I would be hired for this position at age 59?

If I'm a frequent business traveler and stay at the same hotel each month, and I ask to change rooms, the front desk says they are sold out, but the room guests haven't yet checked in, why can't I move?
