What is your Airbnb Job Description on your CV/Resume?

[Alice-and-Jeff0]

After a quick search, very few profiles on LinkedIn have descriptions about their jobs as hosts for Airbnb. Job descriptions highlight the primary responsibilities, requirements, qualifications and challenges of a given job. In short, a job description will tell you what your future employer will expect from you, highlight some skills you've achieved, as well as what you can expect from your employer if you were to come to work for them.  How would your Airbnb Host job description read on your CV/Resume?

A nice guideline on how to add Airbnb hosting on my CV. This is great! thanks!

Wow! So helpful. I just updated my resume too and linked in with this helpful post. I am not mostly retried and run bike trips and airbnb. You just never know when life will change and you may want to market yourself again. Thank you for sharing.

Aloha Alice and Jeff,

This is very helpful! 

Thank you for taking the time to write, share and comment on all the replies.

Have a blessed day!

thanks so much for posting this Alice and Jeff. I have been hosting for a few years now and going to school as well and using this passive income for basic needs and replenishments to my airbnb listing. however now I find myself entering back into the workplace and needed a good example of how to eloquently describe my hosting on my resume to explain the small gap in my work history. So many thanks again!!!

@Alice-and-Jeff0 I recently was thinking/planning to actually make a separate resume/cv for the hospitality industry. What a coincidence!

[Alice-and-Jeff0]

Awesome @Farah1 - what would your Airbnb experience say?  

[Veronica248]

THAvk you for this great post! Exactly what I was looking for! 

[Helen3]

I guess for me I used Linked In to list my various careers to date and as I see Airbnb as a business that I run, I wouldn't add it to my resume.

Particularly as I am not looking for work as a co-host. 

It doesn't seem relevant to my career interests which are very different.

But it is certainly an interested perspective @Alice-and-Jeff0
