2021 BRH Partner Cup

Golf is known to be a pastime that’s good for relieving stress. And with 90 golf courses, Myrtle Beach offers plenty of opportunities to spend the day playing a relaxing round or two. We love any chance to tee up at any of these spectacular courses, especially when it’s for a good cause.

On March 2nd, 2021, Brittain Resorts and Hotels had the opportunity to do just that as we hosted our charity golf tournament, the BRH Partner Cup. Held at the Pine Lakes Country Club, the event helped raise money for the 10th Anniversary of the David L. Brittain Memorial Scholarship. Pine Lakes Country Club, also known as “The Grandaddy”, is Myrtle Beach’s first golf course and one of the most prestigious courses along the Grand Strand.

We started the morning with a Starbucks station at check-in and for lunch, offered a delicious spread provided by Sea Captain’s House. We had DJ Nigel (our resident DJ who entertains at almost all the Brittain Resorts and Hotels oceanfront properties) at the event playing music, keeping the energy up, and creating a fun environment for everyone.

This wasn’t your typical 18-holes of golf. We made sure to add in some friendly competition and mixed it up by featuring the following games throughout:

  • Longest Drive Contest – winner received a private party to “Wine & Dine” up to 8 people at Sea Captain’s House
  • Closest to the Pin Contest – winner received a 1-week stay at North Beach Resort & Villas
  • Rent a Pro – Jarrin Josue from Compass Cove was on site of one of the holes to assist the teams in lowering their scores by hitting the ball for them
  • Guess the Amount of Golf Tees in the Jar – closest guess won a 39-inch smart TV

We also raffled off a brand new 2021 golf cart and held a 50/50 raffle which totaled up to around $1,200 for the winner.

The whole golf tournament was a great success, and we would like to personally thank all of our sponsors and partners who helped make the event possible!

Top 7 Interview Tips to Help You Leave a Great Impression

Top 7 Interview Tips to Help You Leave a Great Impression

Do you have an interview coming up? If so, let’s make sure you leave an impression! We all understand how nerve wracking this process can be, so our team compiled a list of tips and tricks just for you! These interview tips are sure to turn your work opportunities into offers!

Check out these Top 7 Interview Tips to help you ace that interview! 

1. Tailor your Resume & Cover Letter

When a recruiter or hiring manager is reviewing your resume, they’re scanning for the best possible match for the available role. Tailor your resume to highlight experience applicable to the role you’re applying for to immediately stand out. Steer clear of generic cover letters. Don’t make someone dig to get to the good part, lead with your best foot forward!

2. Do Your Research

When a candidate comes in already armed with knowledge and questions about the company, it always leaves a great impression. It shows the interviewer that the candidate has prepared and is taking the opportunity seriously. It also shows that the candidate is interested and truly cares about the company and position.

3. If Something has Changed, Be Honest

Sometimes things can change, that’s just a part of life. If your interest in the role has changed or something comes up that will affect your attendance, reach out and let your interviewer know. A lot of time and effort goes into the hiring process for recruiters and hiring managers, and people will remember if you did not show up for an interview without notice. Taking the time to let the company know that you are no longer interested or that there was an emergency is a great way to move on/ continue without burning a bridge.

4. Dress to Impress!

No matter if you are interviewing for an entry-level position or a management role, your appearance is the first thing your interviewer notices. Dressing well for an interview shows that your interest in the position is serious and ups your chances of being hired! When one conducts an interview, along with assessing the conversation and experience of a candidate, they are looking for someone who is going to be a great representative for their company. A candidate that arrives unkempt to an interview gives a bad impression initially and immediately reduces their chance of being hired.

5. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions

Everyone loves it when candidates ask questions about their company culture as well as specifics about the role for which they are interviewing. The interviewer enjoys the chance to talk about the company and get a candidate excited about working with them. Asking role-specific questions also shows that a candidate knows what position they are applying for and is taking the time to make an informed decision in the event they are offered the position.

6. Stay Focused and Visibly Engaged

During your interview, it is very important that you stay engaged in conversation with the interviewer(s). The more focused and engaged you are during the process makes for a smooth interview as well as shows how important the job is to you. You want to leave the impression that you care and are excited about the opportunity. No one wants to hire someone who seems uninterested! 

7. Thank Interviewer(s) in Person and By Email

As you have probably noticed, politeness, kindness, and engagement go a long way in the interview process. Why not end it that way too? We suggest to always thank your interviewer(s) for their time and consideration after the fact to show your appreciation. It takes a lot of time and planning for hiring managers, so they will appreciate the thought and consideration. Always thank each person after the interview is complete and then make sure to send a follow-up “thank you” email as well. Bonus points if you remember their names as well as touch on something discussed within the interview! This not only shows how excited you are for the opportunity but also keeps your name front and center.

BRITTAIN RESORTS 2020 RENOVATIONS

Posted on February 19, 2020 by - Development, Our Company, Renovations

Dayton House Renovations

The future’s looking bright for Brittain Resorts as we’ve been busy making tons of exciting updates and renovations to some of our resorts and hotels. We want all of our guests to have the best Myrtle Beach vacation experience, and believe that all starts with our oceanfront accommodations. We’re constantly making improvements each year and are thrilled to let you know we’ve been working on. 

BRAND NEW

We’ve made some major renovations to what was previously known as the Long Bay Resort. After brightening up the exterior, pool deck and exterior hallways with fresh coats of coral, gray, and white paint, we’ve completely rebranded the resort. We’re excited to be booking stays for 2020 at the new oceanfront Grande Cayman Resort! Inside the rooms have completely been remodeled. They now have a more modern style, with pops of turquoise and coral. Other fresh touches include a white shiplap accent wall, dark wood laminate flooring, as well as revamped bathrooms with brand new vanity mirrors and tile.

For the company, we have a new centralized laundry facility that’s going to be utilized by our staff. It’s a large warehouse that will fulfill all of our laundry needs and will be used by all of our resorts in Myrtle Beach. This facility makes cleaning easier and more efficient for our dedicated housekeeping staff as they prepare accommodations for upcoming resort stays.

RENOVATIONS

The entire building of the Caribbean Resorts & Villas has been repainted with dark blue and turquoise colors. Not to mention, the Jamaican and Chelsea House units are being completely remodeled with gorgeous modern upgrades and beach decor. It’s neighboring restaurant, Sea Captain’s House, has also been busy freshening up for 2020. Last year they introduced a brand new oceanfront outdoor bar that’s been a hit. This year, they’ve shifted their focus indoors. They’re excited to be adding a new inside bar, as well as a sushi bar. The whole interior will change as they shift to a more open concept flooring plan. The walls received a fresh coat of white paint, and the bathrooms have all been renovated. Plus, get your taste buds ready as some tasty new additions will be making their way on the menu very soon. 

Dayton House Resort has a few renovations currently in the works. We’re fixing up the north, middle, and west buildings of the resort. These buildings are being modeled after the suites and south buildings and we’re expecting the project to be completed by summer of 2020. With the completion of this project, all accommodations at Dayton House Resort will be remodeled and upgraded! 

COMING SOON

There’s a lot of construction happening around The Breakers Resort. We’ve completely torn down the Pirates Cove and Palmetto buildings to make room for a brand new resort—the oceanfront Marriott Springhill Suites/Courtyard. This tower will have 26 stories and a ton of fantastic amenities. There will be a breakfast dining area, state of the art fitness center, business center, outdoor dining, oceanfront pool, and fire pits. Construction has already started and we’re expecting the building to be completed by spring of 2022.

We’re excited about all these renovations, new additions, and projects under construction. To follow along and check out all the updates, follow us on Facebook and Instagram at @brh_team.
