Describe what you did, with context
Use an action, its context and a result you can support. Add numbers only when you can verify them.
Responsible for tasks in hospitality.
Managed reservations and coordinated guest requests with reception and maintenance.
What to highlight
Start with experience that is most relevant to the vacancy. In hospitality, give context to guest care, reservations and service coordination. State the type of establishment, service languages and systems used. Describe how you handled concrete needs without disclosing guest data. Identify temporary or seasonal roles.
An example to guide your writing
Fictional example: “Managed reservations and coordinated guest requests with reception and maintenance.” Use it as a structural reference, not as a statement about your career. Replace each action with something you actually did. If you have a verifiable measure, add scope and time period; otherwise explain the qualitative outcome without inventing numbers.
A structure that is easy to read
Start with your name, professional contact details and a brief summary. List experience and education from most recent to oldest. For each entry, include role or qualification, organisation, dates and a concrete description. Select skills relevant to the position and remove repetition. Early in your career, projects and education can come before employment.
Before sending your PDF
Check links, email, dates and spelling. Open the PDF and verify that text can be selected and headings are not stranded. Use A4 or Letter as requested by the application. A clear template helps readers, but no design guarantees passing an ATS or getting an interview. Keep a version for each vacancy without accidentally changing earlier applications.
