    I studied hotel management in college and my cv is mostly made up of hotel related info. I am hoping to change careers so i can imagine my cv would be useless for a new career. Currenty i have the stubjects i studied in college on my cv, but i dont see how they are going to help me in a new career. Do i mention the subjects i studied?

    I wouldnt agree personally, of course its not going to be as useful as a degree directly related to the disipline you want to go into. But every job has managers and im sure hotel studies is fairly customer focused and gives you good communication skills.

    If you go into a job interview and say that it does not relate to job x that you are applying for, then sure they will say it dosent relate. But if you identify the core things you covered that relate then you can make it look like it did.
