Imagine the benefit of sitting in a room with an executive as they talk about their personal resume. Gain a deeper understanding of life and work in the Great Smoky Mountains’ region of East Tennessee.  Come away with insights on their business and the enormous demands of a business that thrives within a $4 billion tourism mecca.

Hospitality & Tourism is an industry that reaches out to provide a wealth of opportunities in all aspects of the business world.  Sevier County is richly blessed with dedicated business leaders, who have built their own resumes as entrepreneurs, innovators, and industry leaders.  For many, their stories of success were not overnight.  There was a tremendous investment of time and millions of steps, obstacles, and opportunities along the way.

SHIP’s Resume Talk is an ‘up close and personal time’ with a Sevier County business leader, for a unique perspective inside their world of work.  SHIP Interns are offered an exclusive opportunity to listen and hear their stories in our Resume Talk sessions.  Each one-hour session includes time for a Q&A.

Although participation is voluntary, time off will need to be scheduled with the Interns’ Employer.

Featured Speakers: Leon Downey – Director of the Pigeon Forge Department of Tourism & Phil Campbell – General Manager, LeConte Center
