The round photo up top is optional — an initials monogram prints if you leave it out — so the same page suits UK applications and EU hotel groups alike.

Frequently asked questions

Is CVLoom really free?

Yes — editing, all 283 templates, and PDF download are free, with no watermark and no card. There is no account at all: no signup, no login, nothing to cancel.

Will my PDF have selectable text for ATS systems?

Yes. Exports are generated by a real browser engine, so the PDF has true selectable text, embedded fonts, and clickable links — the things resume parsers need.

Can I switch templates without retyping anything?

Yes — your content and the design are stored separately, so switching templates re-flows the same content instantly and losslessly. Try every one of them.

What should a guest services manager CV lead with?

The numbers head office audits: review score moved and the volume behind it, occupancy handled, monthly upsell revenue and the size of the team you run. Name your PMS — Opera, Mews — because hotel groups screen for systems as well as service.
