When you fill in or create your hostess resume, make sure you emphasize all your skills. This is no time to be shy or modest. Remember that your CV is your calling card or your very own, personal marketing campaign, if you will. Keep it all short and to the point, just like we showed you in these two hostess resume samples. Your resume should never be more than one page long unless your experience in your line of work spans on several decades. Good luck!
