Resume Tips

Everyday job seekers post their resumes on Linecooks.com™. Their information and files uploaded are stored in our database. You can can too!

1.) Use Bulleted Sentences
In the body of your resume, use bullets with short sentences rather than lengthy paragraphs. Resumes are read quickly. Make the Big points stand out.

2.) Use Action Words
Use action words - words like prepared, managed, developed, championed, monitored, and presented will cause your resume to stand out. 

3.) Use symbols,%'s, $'s and #'s
You should always use %'s, $'s and #'s. Dollar totals, numbers, and percentages stand out in the body of a resume and better communicate your information.

        Example:
        Bad: Line cook, works well with other, can work most stations. Pay starting 10 dollars an hour
        Good: Line cook for 8 years. Great team player can work 5 top position in commercial kitchen (List, the, postions,) $10.00 min to accept

4.) Highlight your strengths
Highlight your strengths, and what is most relevant to the potential employer. In-coming resumes are typically reviewed in 10-30 seconds.

5.) Match the need they have
Match the need they have. If you have a large skill set, don't be afraid to apply for a position that uses only a portion of those skills. Let them know once you've been contacted that your skills are strong in other areas and you would like to challenge and impove all your skills. This helps get your foot in the door and let's managment know your future needs.

6.) Be positive
Above all in your resume and interview - you must be positive. Therefore, leave off negatives and irrelevant points.

7.) Get 3rd Party Advice
Ask a friend, and get an outside opinion on your resume before sending it off.

8.) Start Applying
OK, you're ready! Start applying - Apply for some jobs that appear to be above your qualifications, apply to positions that are a match.
