Motivation Monday Tips: Build a Resume That Works for You
To help you get started, here are five resume tips you can apply today:
1. Tailor Your Resume to the Job
Use specific keywords from the job description and focus on the qualifications that matter most to that employer. This helps your resume stand out—and get past applicant tracking systems (ATS).
2. Focus on Results, Not Just Responsibilities
Don’t just list what you did—show how well you did it. Use numbers, metrics, and outcomes to highlight your impact.
3. Keep It Clean and Professional
Use a simple, readable layout. Avoid clutter, stick to one font, and organize your experience clearly by role and date.
4. Showcase Your Leadership & Soft Skills
Especially in hospitality, employers want to see communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities. Make sure your resume reflects the value you bring to a team.
5. Take Action Today
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to update your resume or apply for a new job—this, is it. Small steps lead to big results.
