What cook employers actually look for
Head chefs and kitchen managers are busy. They scan resumes in under a minute. Lead with your food hygiene certification, state your cover capacity, and let your bullets do the work.
The most common mistake is listing responsibilities instead of outcomes. Every bullet on your resume should answer the question: "So what?" — what was the result, the scale, the impact?
Technical
- Food Hygiene Level 2 / 3 (state which)
- Allergen awareness & management
- Knife skills & butchery
- Pastry, bread & desserts
- Menu planning & costing
Kitchen Operations
- High-volume service (state covers)
- HACCP compliance
- Stock rotation & FIFO
- Kitchen equipment maintenance
- Supplier ordering & inventory
Strong resume bullets that get callbacks
These examples follow the Action → Context → Outcome structure. They're specific enough to be credible and quantified where it matters.
When you generate your resume with ResumeSync, your actual experience — not these examples — is used to build bullets in the same structure, matched to the specific job you're applying for.
Common mistakes to avoid
These are the patterns that send cook applications straight to the reject pile.
Not stating your Food Hygiene level — Level 2 vs Level 3 matters.
Listing cuisine types without cover volumes or service context.
No mention of allergen awareness — increasingly a hard requirement.
Vague descriptions like "helped prepare meals" with no scale or ownership.
