Which experience fits the role?

Service: Welcome guests, take orders, explain and serve dishes, process payments.
Kitchen: Prepare ingredients, work at a station or cook to specified recipes.
Organisation: Reservations, shift preparation and kitchen-service coordination.
Languages: State your actual level and situations where you used the language.
Responsibilities: Distinguish support from leadership. Occasional planning assistance is not kitchen or service management.

Service wording example

General: “I am friendly and resilient.”

Welcomed guests, took orders and coordinated with the kitchen. Served food and drinks, processed payments and prepared the area for the next shift.

Fictional example. Only use tasks you performed. For kitchen applications, describe your actual kitchen tasks instead.

Tailor the letter to the employer

Link an advertised task to your service or kitchen experience. Explain your interest in the operation or offering. Do not invent visits or knowledge of the restaurant.

Explain seasonal roles and breaks

Give correct dates for seasonal and temporary jobs. Distinguish employers and tasks. Describe breaks factually without unwanted private details. More in the return-to-work guide.

Prepare before the preview

Your previous roles, employers and dates.
The tasks required in the advert.
Notes on your experience, languages and motivation.
Your actual start date and possible working hours, if relevant.

Remove tasks that are not yours. Add certificates and diplomas yourself. The service excludes personal career advice and does not guarantee interviews.
