About
Absolutely. You have a strong amount of hospitality, food-service, housekeeping, and management experience. I’d format this as a clean, one-page ATS-friendly resume and emphasize your 10+ years at The Morrill Mansion B&B, management experience, food preparation, customer service, and maintenance skills.
I’d also leave the street address off the resume for privacy and use Portland, ME instead. References can be provided separately rather than taking up valuable resume space.
