Waitress Resume - Or Maybe a Change of Pace

If you are having a hard time finding a waitress job, I have found a couple of alternatives that have proven very interesting. The first is home staging, these persons take homes that are for sale and dress them up, do a little decorating and help the homes get sold. They get paid, and the owners have their home sold that much quicker, everyone is happy. The best site to learn how to become a home stager I have found is Home Staging Success. The next site is House Careers, this site provides a list of homes for which people need housesitters. I have heard of people that travel around the country living in beautiful homes and getting paid. This site connects you to people looking for housesitters around the country. If you have you waitress resume in hand but are looking for something different, these sites are worth a look.

I can't over emphasize the importance of a good resume. You will want more from your wait staff career.

Possibly, a promotion into management...or maybe to finish college and move away from customer service (you never completely move away from serving people).

Waitress Resume 2

Applying for a job as a waitress? You need to make sure your resume stands out compared to other waitresses'.

The way in which you present your waitressing resume can be the difference between a resume that stands out from other job seekers or one that is lost in the pile. It all comes down to making an impression and first impressions count. As all good waitresses know, if you start off on the right foot and make a positive impression, the reward - by way of a generous tip, is more likely to follow. The same theory holds true when applying for a waitressing job - make sure your waitress resume is well presented with strong relevant content and you're more likely to be considered for the job.

When reading a waitress resume, prospective employers are looking for a waitress with the following qualities:

1. A waitress with strong interpersonal skills that has the ability to engage with customers in a professional, friendly, yet efficient manner

It is important to offer something of substance. A common mistake with a waitress resume is to be too generic ie " To gain employment as a waitress". An example of a well written waitressing objective is as follows:

and hospitality. With team leadership experience, my daily goal is to manage the floor so that

customer service consistently surpasses diner expectations"
