line cook resume example with 10+ years of experience
Used to a very flexible schedule due to work in the restaurant industry. Familiar with fast paced work environments and time constrained tasks. My college experience has also greatly helped with my values of hard work and dedication. Many think a history degree isn't as challenging but I have written over 10 papers that required 10 pages of original cited work. This has helped me a lot in the understanding of working under pressure and the importance of time management. On top of that my minor in business has also prepared me greatly for office work. I'm familiar with the basics of accounting and business. I can read various tax documents and have a good understanding of balance sheets, profit loss statements, and various other documents vital to maintaining a business. I have also done front of house kitchen work such as serving. I have plenty of experience dealing with the public and difficult customers.
