Additional Information
All in all I think your resume shows you are more than qualified for filling a sever position at any
restaurant. When I get home I can give you some more of my opinions but it's totally up to you if you
want to take my advise or not.
Last thing, I know it's tough but you really need to condense everything to one sheet. Your resume is
intended to create questions for the interviewer. Meaning, you don't want to explain every detail about
your past experiences. For instance you did it perfectly by writing down how you offered customers
suggestions on what to order. In the interview you would then explain how you would constantly review
menu options and personally try all the food so that you could give your best suggestions. I don't know,
maybe I can explain this a little better tonight. Hope I wasn't to harsh :)
