BRIEF SUMMARY

Observation is a lesson which applies theories received in college into the real working
environment. Observation and interview can help the students to prepare themselves to face
the real working world.
The writer conducted the observation and interview at Kayu Arum Resort at Jl. Magersari,
Ringin Nawe, Salatiga, 50733, Central Java, Indonesia. The observation was held from
27th-30th November 2014.
The writer finds positive side from the observation. It helps the writer much to observe
about hotel and know deeper about front office department especially in receptionist. The
obstacles during the observation and interview is the limited time that made the writer
unprepared and lack of data. The writer hopes this observation and interview can be
beneficial for the readers. The writer also realizes that there are weaknesses in this

observation and interview report, so the suggestions from the readers are appreciated for the
improvement.
