If you're looking to work at a hotel then competition is stiff, and you need the best possible CV.

This is true for most hotel positions including reception, front of house, concierge, chef etc. However, it is probably even more true for hotel managers because competition for hotel management jobs are fierce and you not only need to sell your hotel expertise but you also need to come across as a versatile and resourceful leader with commercial acumen and a broad range of business/operational skills.
