How to Format a Gym Receptionist Resume

How you format your gym receptionist resume depends on what you want to showcase. If you have less than three years of steady administration experience, use a functional resume to focus on your transferable skills. Candidate B uses this resume format to downplay their relative lack of experience and focus on their social customer service and sales skills. However, this customizable format is risky and difficult for computer programs to read. We only recommend it for career newcomers or an in-person application.

If you have over three years of experience, use a career-based resume like the chronological or hybrid formats. These two formats use detailed timelines to describe your previous jobs, employers, and career accomplishments. Candidate A uses a chronological resume to describe how frequently they converted guests to full-time gym members and handled daily member needs.
