Help with Wife’s Resume
My wife is looking to transition out of the hospitality industry and I’d love some advice.
She has spent the last 7 years working her way up in hotels and has done really well, but she’s starting to feel burned out from the 24/7 nature of the business. She’s paid fairly for her role, but her company has struggled to properly staff and compensate front desk agents and supervisors, which means she’s constantly having to cover the desk, including nights and weekends.
Recently, her direct manager left, and instead of being offered the Assistant General Manager position, she was moved into an Operations Manager role. The understanding was that someone else would be brought in to help cover the constant evening and overnight needs, but that hasn’t really happened.
Thankfully, we’re in a position where she can afford to take a pay cut if it means finding something with a better schedule and quality of life. She’s starting to explore different industries and roles in our area, but we’re trying to figure out how to make her resume feel less generic and less “hotel-specific.”
I’ve attached a copy of her resume and would really appreciate any advice on how to better position her experience for roles outside of hospitality.
