Server Resume

Start your resume by listing your full name, job title, and contact information. Your contact information should include your cellphone number, email address, and physical address.

Write a paragraph where you briefly describe your background and experience as a server. The summary should highlight why you are a suitable candidate for the position you are applying to.

It is important that your competencies catch the attention of screeners. Immediately after the summary, list all of your skills in a block layout. Make a bulleted list that includes skills such as explaining the menu, assisting customers with their choices, and processing payments. Should you possess a valid driver's license, be sure to include mention thereof here, since it might be relevant to certain roles.

This section demonstrates the extent of your experience as a server. In reverse chronological format, list all the jobs you've held by business name, date, and location. Describe the responsibilities of each role concisely in bullet format. Add all jobs you've held since they could reveal additional relevant skills.

Under the education heading, list your highest qualification first under your school/college/university name and the dates you attended. If you're currently studying toward a qualification, write "in progress" followed by the date by which you expect to complete your course, diploma, certificate, or degree.

In this section, list details of any relevant certificates you might have obtained. An example would be a Food Service or Safety Certificate. Mention the certificate's name, the institution that issued it, and the date.

Finally, list any noteworthy achievements throughout your career. These can include being named "Server of the Month", being promoted to a senior server role, being given additional responsibilities such as monitoring stock and supplies, and more.
