Evergreen has no photo and a deep band of color across the top.

A made-up resume. The person, the employers and every number are invented, and any resemblance to a real one is chance.

Why this example works

Rooms per shift and the size of the hotel give a head housekeeper a quick sense of pace.
An inspection pass rate is a result a supervisor can check, which the word thorough never gives.
The lost property log shows honesty with guest belongings, a quality every hotel wants in staff who enter rooms.
The laundry job shows work with linen volume and a move into hotel work on a recommendation.

How to write your own housekeeper resume

Give rooms cleaned per shift and the size or type of the property.
Use an inspection pass rate or a standard you meet if you have one.
Describe how you handle guest belongings and report faults, since trust matters in this job.
Name the checklists, carts and chemical safety training you use.
Add a housekeeping certificate or a chemical safety course, each with who ran it and when.
Keep laundry, cleaning or hospitality jobs that show you can keep pace with volume.

Common questions

Can cleaning outside hotels help me get a room attendant job?

Cleaning in care homes, offices, laundries or family businesses all count. Describe the volume and the standards, then add any safety training.

Should I list my pace in rooms per hour?

Rooms per shift is easier to compare. Add the room type if it matters, because suites take longer than standard rooms.

How do I show I am trustworthy?

Describe habits such as logging found items and reporting faults, which show care better than saying you are honest.

Are physical demands worth mentioning?

Briefly, if they are part of the job, such as lifting linen or working on your feet through a full shift. Let the volume numbers do most of the talking.
