The resort, currently operating partially, expects to fully reopen by October 2020

As the El Conquistador hotel in Fajardo gradually reopens and remodels ahead of a tentative October 2020 full reopening, it is hiring for roles such as executive chef and directors of sales and of food and beverage. HR director Olga Martínez said the hotel — with 230 of its 919 rooms currently available — would be seeking candidates for all positions in 2020.

Marriott Puerto Rico luxury-brands talent-acquisition director Clariseli Acosta noted that hotel reopenings, the approaching high season and post-María migration have increased staffing needs across the tourism industry, with full-time, part-time, seasonal and on-call openings. At an employment event for Universidad Interamericana students in Fajardo — organized by the Puerto Rico Hotel & Tourism Association — executives from El Conquistador, Sheraton Puerto Rico, Wyndham Grand Rio Mar, Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton Reserve and Marriott shared job-search advice, including tailoring résumés to each posting and being mindful of one’s social-media presence.
