A night auditor resume that only says "worked the night shift" gets filtered out. The hotels hiring for this role care about one thing: can you run the night audit, reconcile the day's transactions, cover the overnight front desk, and keep it accurate. The resumes that land interviews talk about the audit, front desk, and accuracy — not just "worked the night shift."
In one line: your resume should answer "what did you audit and reconcile, how did you cover the desk, and how accurate were you."

Yes. Property management systems (PMS) and POS reporting are central to the night audit — name the systems you used. Pair them with your reconciliation and accuracy record so hotels see you can close the day correctly and cover the desk.
