Correcting someone's spelling and grammar is discouraged on a bulletin board, but I have to tell you that any 5-star hotel manager that saw your unique spelling of "amateur" (umm... ameture?) would not take you seriously, unless your goal is housekeeping.
Again, just practical advice. A typo is a typo, but butchering words leads the reader to wonder if there simply may be a knowledge gap.
I'd hate for anyone to have all their other ducks in a row, then miss out due to an unprofessional resume.
Good references are crucial in EVERY line of work.

References from other managers would be a requirement, but its not getting you an interview.
I'm not saying that you will not get an interview without knowing someone, just that most higher paying jobs come from direct recommendations.
Agreed. Either direct recommendations or working one's way up the ladder. Unless we are talking positions so high up as to be referred to as "appointments," of course.

It's ok I understand what you are saying meh_whatever..I'm typing on my phone so sorry. I do have great grammer as well. Gosh. Again for any one else. Please excuse any typos my phones touch screen does this often. Trust me my resume is very well written and is posted on a few job sites where employers contact me on a regular basis after seeing my well written resume. I have no worries in that area
And ok I see what every one is saying, I will take note of it all.
Thank you
If your coming from the North to work in the South be prepared for sticker shock when it comes to salary. I don't mean in a positive way. The hospitality industry is known for some very low paying jobs and that holds true for the South.
I took a part time job for the most exclusive resort in the sand-hills golf area and my basic pay was less than $10 hr. I also never knew which were my off days until I reported for work that day.
I resigned after a couple of months because I could not make any weekend plans.
You can have the hospitality industry.
My wife graduated from the hotel/hospitality program at NCCU. All the job offers she had, from front desk, guest services, sales, ect all started between $9-$11. There is room for advancement though, because of the turn over.... She still works PT at a Marriott but moved to a better paying profession.
At ncmickey..ok that doesn't sound to bad. I know I must start some where before i can advance to a higher position. So I will be humbled to get a reasonable pay rate to start me off. I hope it doesn't take to many years before advancement. I have been looking into the Marriott it seems they are always hiring, I wonder if that's a good or bad thing as to why they can't keep the employees they have, for positions to always be open.

She loves the people that she works with. Its one of the reasons she keeps the PT job. That, and the employee rate she gets us when we travel ;>)... Marriott moves their managers around and offer jobs at other locations to their employees. There are also companies like Remington Remington | Remington Hotels, Club, Luxury Resort Hotels, & Hospitality Services that own hotels from multiple chains. They own the Marriott RTP on Miami Blvd in Durham, near the airport. You should look into them and other 'hospitality' companies
