Today, I spent some time helping my wife with her resume as she looks to transition out of the hospitality industry. After seven years of working her way up in hotels, she’s feeling burned out from the demanding 24/7 nature of the business. Although she has been compensated fairly, the constant staffing issues at her company have meant she often has to cover shifts, including nights and weekends. Recently, her manager left, and instead of being promoted to Assistant General Manager, she was reassigned to an Operations Manager role. The plan was for someone else to take on the evening and overnight responsibilities, but that hasn’t materialized. We’re fortunate that she can afford to take a pay cut for a better work-life balance, so she’s exploring different industries and roles in our area. The challenge now is to make her resume less generic and more appealing for positions outside of hospitality. I’ve attached her current resume and would love any advice on how to highlight her skills and experience in a way that resonates with potential employers in other fields.
