Housekeeping Resume Sample

A housekeeping resume that sparkles will get noticed. Like a perfectly tidy room, your resume should be fresh, clean, and orderly. And just as guests are expecting a welcoming room free of dust and debris, so are hiring managers expecting a resume free of errors. For writing tips, view the housekeeper resume that resume expert Kim Isaacs created below.

To stand out from the competition, consider writing a headline for a housekeeping resume, as shown beneath the candidate's contact information.

Then, you can replace the traditional housekeeping resume objective with a qualifications summary, which is more commonly seen in hotel housekeeping resume examples nowadays. In two to three sentences, let readers know what makes you so excellent at your job. A summary for a housekeeping resume should be short and to the point.
