A great resume helps potential employers identify your strengths, including work ethic and people skills. Although it’s fairly easy for a qualified applicant to find work, presenting a polished resume helps you stand out and get higher-paying positions.
Food service employers want workers with a track record for reliability, so emphasize positions you held for an extended period of time in the employment section. If you have management experience or supervisory skills, include that in the bullets for the relevant position, as shown in the example below. Also, educational credits related to food service or hospitality are accomplishments you should include in the summary or highlights section of your resume.
