Which term is used to describe a brief personal summary used in job applications?

• A. Résumé
• B. ROI
• C. RevPAR
• D. Sample

Answer: (A)

A résumé is a concise document that presents your qualifications for a job. It’s designed to give employers a quick snapshot of your education, work history, and skills, often starting with a brief professional summary that states your career focus or what you bring to the role. In hospitality and tourism, a résumé highlights relevant experience like guest-service skills, language abilities, and any certifications, making it easy for hiring managers to see if you’re a fit. The other terms aren’t about personal summaries: ROI is a financial metric for return on investment, RevPAR is a hotel performance metric (revenue per available room), and a sample is simply an example document.
