Clients look for extraordinary talent from within the industry. Your details must be unique, brief and inspire someone to want to interview you.

Far greater insight is needed, with elaboration on each position, including 3-4 big achievements per job, (not a shopping list), a very brief overview of each property and an idea of scale, in terms of numbers, rooms, covers, outlets, number of staff you managed, etc, etc, etc,.
