Use a short work sample to show your approach without exposing workplace information.

Choose a task that appears in several adverts for guest service. For example, write a handover for two guests waiting on different requests. Use fictional names and figures, and add a one-paragraph explanation of what you checked and why. A clear sample that takes a minute to read can be enough.

Make the sample easy to review

Give the file a descriptive name and save a version you can send if asked. Include the result and one change you would make if the task were larger. Keep confidential information out of the sample and remember to check escalation rules before promising compensation.
