What is the term for the position of an employee at the beginning of a particular career?

• A. Entry-level
• B. E-tail
• C. Ethics
• D. Exemplary guest service

Answer: (A)

Starting at the beginning of a career is described as entry-level. This label covers jobs that don’t require extensive prior experience and typically include on-the-job training to learn the basics of the role and the company’s standards. In hospitality and tourism, entry-level positions are where newcomers gain foundational skills—like customer service, team routines, and standard operating procedures—and they usually offer a clear path for advancement as experience grows.

E-tail refers to selling products online, not a job level. Ethics means moral principles guiding behavior, not a position in a career. Exemplary guest service describes an excellent level of performance, not the initial job tier someone holds.
