Requirements for working at RIU Hotels & Resorts
There is no single list of requirements that applies to all employees. When reviewing a job advert, pay attention to the following aspects:
- Check the location of the vacancy: Spain, another European country or outside Europe.
- Language skills and customer service experience if the vacancy involves direct contact with guests.
- Relevant training and experience in kitchen work, housekeeping or maintenance, where applicable.
- Availability to work the hours required by the establishment, if stated in the listing.
- Check the documentation required to work in another country before accepting an offer.
These recommendations should not be interpreted as mandatory requirements for every vacancy. If a qualification is essential, the job description should say so. Do not claim to have languages, permits or experience that you do not have.
RIU Hotels & Resorts recruitment process and possible interviews
Vacancies and job categories are listed at jobs.riu.com/jobs. Open a vacancy that interests you to check the requirements and follow the application process. If you cannot find a suitable role, the portal allows you to sign up for alerts and submit your CV using the method provided on the website.
After submitting an application, your profile may be reviewed, and you may be invited to interviews or technical tests, depending on the role. To prepare for an interview, choose verifiable examples of tasks you have carried out, results, teamwork and problem-solving that are relevant to the position.
Pay, shifts and working conditions
The same salary or schedule should not be assumed for a housekeeping role at a hotel and a marketing role in an office. It is particularly important to check the country, establishment, currency, working hours, contract type and relocation conditions. Training and other benefits advertised by the company do not replace the terms of each vacancy.
Regarding salary: it is not reliable to use a single figure for every role in the company. Check the gross salary, working hours, additional payments, collective bargaining agreement, contract type and work location whenever this information is provided in the vacancy or recruitment process. Do not confuse estimates from external websites with a contractual offer.
How to distinguish RIU vacancies in Spain from those abroad
The portal advertises opportunities in different regions of the world, so location and country are essential filters. If you are looking for work in Spain, do not confuse an international vacancy with a local one. If you are interested in working abroad, check the language and work permit requirements, whether accommodation is offered, and the terms of taking up the role.
How to tailor your CV for RIU Hotels & Resorts
Preparing a CV for the hospitality sector does not mean listing every job without prioritising. Select experience in customer service, cooking, cleaning, languages or maintenance according to the role you are actually seeking, and state the locations where you are able to work.
- Use a professional headline that matches the role you are applying for.
- Start by describing experience and projects relevant to the vacancy.
- Include tools, education, languages and verifiable certificates when they add value.
- Highlight specific examples of results or responsibilities, without making up figures.
- Check that your phone number, email address and city are correct, and that the file is easy to read.
If the application process allows you to attach an additional explanation, you can also prepare a brief cover letter tailored to the role.
Mistakes that could harm your application
- Sending exactly the same CV for roles with different responsibilities.
- Not checking the location or country of the role before applying.
- Assuming that requirements listed in an old vacancy or one from another company are mandatory.
- Sharing personal information through messages or domains that cannot be verified.
- Claiming to know tools, processes or languages that you cannot demonstrate your knowledge of.
- Accepting an offer without checking the contracting organisation, working hours and conditions.
