Hi,
I've recently left uni with a level 5 HND in tourism Management and have just started a new job as a zero hours museum Assistant.
I volunteered in a Tourist information centre for over a year and have done a couple of temporary jobs eg Christmas market.
The job I'm in now though is rarely any more than 2 days a week and I'm not really sure it's for me. There's a "full time" (well 25 hours pro Rata) job doing a role with slightly more authority but fundamentally similar for the same company which I'm contemplating going for.
My question is, am I making the most of a level 5 HND and what sort of jobs require this level of qualification in the tourism industry?
Is is unrealistic to apply for a supervisory or managerial role with only a year (and a bit) experience.
Sorry for the long winded post but the more the merrier I guess?!
Thanks in advance 🙂

With a HND you can go after slightly lower jobs than with a degree and work your way up. Still the same areas.

Out of interest did you flunk 3rd year and they let you have a HND or were you always doing HND? In any event have you thought about getting a top up degree?

Am I right in saying most graduates at degree level go into schemes to become managers - Aldi for example.
The job I'm in now only requires a level 1 qualification and I'm not sure I'm putting my HND to use

Hi - It was only a 2 year course at a small local university. I've considered topping up but because my class sizes were so small (2 in some cases), I don't think I could cope with being a lecture Hall with 100 other people.

2. I doubt lectures for tourism would be 100 people.
3. I think only the lucky/ top ones get onto an actual graduate scheme. If you get a good class of degree then the advantage is it means you can at least apply for the job/ scheme. They might not accept a HND as sufficient. Look at the job adverts and see what opportunities are there for you.
