What should a server put on a resume?

Before jumping into writing your resume, we recommended that you first check the job ad to see what customer service skills they need. Then make a list of your customer service skills and look for talents that show up on both lists.

Don't forget to include your customer service skills by listing them in a separate key skills section on your resume. Finally, use your bullet points to prove you have those abilities.

Next, you should elaborate on the specific experiences you have working in the service industry or related fields. Here, you'll want to convey your experiences through your achievements using action verbs. For example, "Serving food and beverages while maintaining high-quality formal table service to over 100+ customers daily."

If you're just starting out your career as a server, then use the education and skills to really showcase what you have to offer. Don't forget to include any volunteer work or hobbies; it is relevant. For example, if you're applying for a serving job at a brewery, then you definitely want to include a hobbies section that includes brewing beer if that is your hobby.
