Whether you’re a Restaurant Manager, Chef, or Hospitality Executive, always make it easy for your prospective employers to find you and your resume.<\/p>\n

Not only should your full name appear someplace on each page of your resume, but it should also be included in the naming of it.<\/p>\n

If your name is “John Jones<\/em>“, then your resume should be “John Jones.doc<\/em>“, “Jones John.rtf<\/em>” or something similar. You can also get more detailed and name it “John Jones Executive Chef.doc<\/em>” or “Jim Jones Restaurant General Manager.doc<\/em>” if you like. <\/p>\n

Sending a resume titled “the good one.doc<\/em>” or “res221.doc<\/em>” does not help anyone find your resume in their computer files or encourage them to hire you (could be a sign that you lack attention to detail…).<\/p>\n
