A Resume Tip especially helpful for hoteliers or those aspiring to work in the hotel industry:
If you've worked at different properties or restaurants, it helps to highlight or draw attention to some fast facts that can include:
# of Rooms
# square feet of meeting space
# of restaurants on site (if a hotel or larger property)
# of seats in restaurant (if a restaurant manager of a solo operation)
$ volume of business
I typically highlight the first two facts ( # of rooms & # of meeting space) under the name of the property. Example
Fictional Hotel
Position Title
700 rooms 40k sq ft meeting space
(bullet points, highlight accomplishments, etc.)
The goal is to give a hiring manager a quick snapshot of the areas you worked and scope you have experienced.
If a hiring manager can easily see you've worked at properties where the room count is 300, 250, and 375 respectively, They will likely think one of three things
"This candidate can handle a similar role in a 500 room hotel"
"This candidate can take on an executive level role in a 200 room hotel"
"This candidate can handle a promotion in a 350 room hotel"
You are only given a few moments for someone to review your resume, help them help you!!
