Ensuring your resume gets seen by the right people

When you submit your resume, kindly attach it in MS Word format; and in your resume, please ensure that:

  • The employers should be listed in descending order; this means that we ask you to please list the most recent employer first, then the second most recent employer, and so on;
  • Your title and the dates of employment with each employer are as accurate as possible (the dates should reflect the month and year when you started, and the month and year when you moved from each position);
  • The name of each employer is clearly stated, and that the type of business is also clearly indicated (i.e. Was it a bar, a casino, a resort, a hotel - and, if a hotel/resort, how was it rated/how many stars?)
  • The reason for separation from each employer is indicated (explain why you left each employer);
  • If there are any breaks in dates of employment, please explain the reasons;
    When possible, the estimated annual gross sales figures for the venue(s) you managed is indicated;
  • If you managed multiple venues, kindly indicate the names/types of outlets/venues, and how many employees you managed at each venue/outlet.
  • You indicate the languages in which you can communicate (kindly specify the language and whether your verbal/written skills are basic, moderate, or fluent).

Also.... As you can understand, we are seeking particular qualifications and experience. In your response email to me, kindly respond to the following questions (be sure to provide details and specific achievements/accomplishments):

  1. What is your background/experience - specifically in the area you are applying for.
  2. How many venues/outlets have you managed. If so, kindly indicate how many venues/outlets you managed simultaneously, and what was the estimated annual gross sales for each venue (or all venues/outlets in total).
  3. Have you supervised at least 55 or more employees at one time? If so, kindly indicate the greatest number of employees you've managed at that same time.

Have this information available and ready for your prospective employer and secure the dream job you've been looking for.
