Housekeeper resume questions
Where does the TESDA certificate go on a housekeeper resume?
Put it under your objective if you have it. Write Housekeeping NC II and the year you finished.
What goes first if I have no hotel experience yet?
Lead with your education, then any cleaning work you've done. Home, school and church count, so say where.
Should I put my birthday or a photo on it?
Leave your birthday off. Since 2016, Republic Act 10911 has made it unlawful for employers in the Philippines to require your age or birth date while you apply. Leave the photo off too, unless the job post asks for one.
Should I send it as a PDF or a Word file?
PDF, unless the job post asks for Word. A PDF looks the same on every screen. Put your name in the file name, like Marilou-Dimaculangan-Resume.pdf.
