The WorldSkills competition happened in Switzerland.

It's a competition to test and celebrate skilled workers like receptionists, electricians and chefs.

They compete to be number one at their job.

While they show their skills, a team of experts judge them.

Tim Oberli, from Switzerland, competed in the hotel receptionists' contest.

While on holiday, he watched guests at the reception desk.

He became interested in this job.

19 year old Oberli will compete against 15 other receptionists.

He's the manager of a team of receptionists at an expensive hotel.

But the competition has made him nervous.

In the competition, actors act as difficult guests with problems, which receptionists must solve quickly.

The director of WorldSkills, Jane Stokie, tells us more.

There's also a written exam about the job.

But Oberli believes that taking care of the guests is the most important thing.

Oberli came second, but he's proud of what he did.
