One of the largest expenses a hotel manager has to control its energy costs and utilities. The interviewer needs to know that you will be conscious of the various ways to control these expenses. Reassure the hiring manager that you are aware of these costs and how they affect the bottom line. Be confident in your ability to make energy management a priority.

"I dislike seeing the lights left on in the offices after the employees are gone. I often walk the property a couple of times a day, turning off lights that do not need to be on, turning off faucets all the way, and adjusting A/C units. These actions seem small but they save a lot of money over the year."
