    Show Revenue Impact in Your CV

    For a Group Sales & Marketing Manager role, hiring managers want to see numbers, not just duties. They'll be scanning for measurable wins in your past roles.

    1. Quantify your wins: Use specific numbers on your CV, like percentage growth in sales or revenue, number of new accounts, or event size. For example, 'Increased group bookings by 20% in one year.'

    2. Highlight hotel experience: If you have any hospitality background, make it prominent. Mention specific hotel brands or properties you've worked with, and the types of clients you handled.

    3. Show marketing savvy: Detail your marketing campaigns, especially digital ones. Mention tools like Google Analytics, social media ads, or email marketing platforms you've used.

    4. Prepare for behavioral questions: Expect questions about how you've handled difficult clients or met tight deadlines. Have concrete stories ready that show your problem-solving and leadership.

    5. Know the local market: Research Nairobi's hospitality scene. Be ready to discuss trends, competitors, and how you'd attract both local and international clients.

    6. Emphasize team leadership: As a manager, you'll likely lead a team. Give examples of how you've motivated staff, resolved conflicts, or trained new hires.

    7. Polish your online presence: Many hiring managers check LinkedIn. Ensure your profile is up-to-date, professional, and reflects your sales and marketing achievements.

    8. Ask smart questions: In the interview, ask about the hotel's current marketing strategies, target markets, and challenges. This shows genuine interest and strategic thinking.
