As you will see from my CV,although I am relatively young, I have already
got basic experience in jobs related to the hotel sector. In particular, I

work placement in a hotel reception in Lugo, the city where I study. I also
did a three-month summer jobin France, where Iworked with adults and
teenagers as an entertainer. Because of this, Ithink that my
communication and organizational skills are good.
My mother tongue is Spanish, but! have been studying English for ten
years now, first at secondary school, and now at the EscuelaUniversitaria
deTurismo,where I am in myfinalyear.1 am confident that !can carry out
a!lmyduties in English, and Ialso speak good French.
