create your resume easy-to-read style. This will allow the reader to focus on the content. Consider having three distinct parts in each of the most recent positions on your resume. The company's facts. For example: "Hutchinson Hideaway is a Mobil Four-Star, AAA Four Diamond 122acre resort, employing 400 full-time staff members, located in Sonoma Valley, California. The resort is comprised of 250 rooms, three restaurants, a 26,000-square-foot spa with 27 treatment rooms, a spa café, and two swimming pools. Hutchinson Hideaway received award-winning accolades from Travel & Leisure magazine ("2007 Top 100 Resorts") and other magazines as detailed on www.hutchinsonhideaway.com." Responsibilities with factual details. For sample cover letters and resumes, visit the Members section of www.abmp.com and click on "Career Development."

If you were part of a team, what was your role in the team and what did you actually do? • hat were the results of your W actions? When possible, quantify these results using dollar signs, percentages, and numbers. The more numbers the better, as they are measurable evidence of accomplishments and are highly visible as an employer scans your resume. For instance: "Increased spa revenue 40 percent between 2010 and 2012 by adding four cabanas next to the pool and hiring and training 10 additional staff members, which succeeded in providing guests 325 more massages per week between June and August 2012. Decreased turnover of massage therapists by 20 percent between 2010 and 2012 by utilizing exit interviews, recommending operational
