Working for the Rich & Famous - Welcome

Welcome to Working for the Rich & Famous, a short weekly podcast talking to guests with successful careers working in the private sector. Here is an introduction to our new podcast to give you an insight into my background and why I thought it might be a good idea to launch The Silver Swan Show. Having had a career in recruitment, especially within the luxury hospitality sector, I thought I’d give an insight into this industry. We are asked regularly…. What experience do I need to get into the private sector? What is the best first step? What kind of experience do I need? Do I need training? What are the different roles available? Can I travel? Is it easy to side step and re-train into a different area of the industry? What can I do to improve my chances of progression? What can I expect when working for the rich and famous? The list continues…..! I therefore thought it would be really useful for those new to the industry to listen to others who have been there, done it, and got years’ worth of experience to share. I will therefore be chatting to different guests who have successful careers in the sector, who all do different types of work, for different types of clients all over the world. It’ll be interesting to know how similar the role of House Manager is in London, to LA, to Dubai. How have different people managed to get into the industry in the first place, is there any specific training that helped them, do they have any advice for others looking to have similar careers. For those not in the sector – I can assure you, it’ll be fascinating for you too. The stories that you’ll hear will blow your mind! Listen in each (new episodes posted on Wednesdays) – you can either subscribe and watch on you tube, download on podcast or listen on Spotify.
