Foreign qualifications are hindering my career progress
Question
I am working as an F&B manager in very busy three-star hotel. I have been in the catering business for more than seven years and I have a university degree. I come from Turkey and finished my studies in the UK. My first experience of work was helping my father when he was a hotel manager.
I am looking to move to a more senior position, but it is much harder than I thought. The problem is that some of the hotels I have applied to don't recognise my qualifications because they're from another country. Is this fair? Do I have to get another degree from this country, and how can I do this while I am working? What do you advise?
