hi friends and welcome back to my
channel I'm Ginnie Mae the intergalactic
supreme goddess a guest service and I
thank you so much for joining me I hope
you're having an amazing day I have
actually been in the restaurant business
for over 35 years and I've been in a
situation where I have been reading and
hiring and giving interviews to people
for over 25 so I would love to talk to
you a little bit about your resume and
of course what you can write on your
resume so it sticks out and you end up
getting that job and being called in to
have an interview so I think one of the
easiest ways is to just go online and
see if there's some different templates
for a resume if you have you know an
apple or an iPad for example I do that
there's some different templates in
there for resumes I like the ones that
are very creative I think those stick
out really really nicely for example I
know a lot of times you can go in and
they'll be like a title or it's a resume
and then they'll be a line underneath it
and then you know the lettering is
really really professional and you're
thinking oh I made a very professional
type of CD CV I can really appreciate
that when somebody comes in and they
want to have a job in the restaurant and
it's a very professional CV but you know
what it doesn't always stick out so much
I like the ones definitely that have a
really nice picture on it and not only
just a picture of you but a picture with
an open mouth smile so that they can see
that hey this is a smiley person all
people is the management business is
wanting to hire waiter or waitresses
that are in a good mood that are smiling
that our team players that guests end up
really liking very quickly so showing
that you can smile in a picture is a
really really good thing I also think in
that picture if you have longer hair too
that hair up so they can also see that
hey this is what the person will
actually look like when they are on the
floor so picture is always really really
nice the said that Bob it can be all
different things if you really feel
comfortable with a professional type of
layout that's fine
but I can always recommend go for
something a little bit more creative in
some type of ways you can even kind of
design your own with different bubbles
or whatever around that tells a little
bit above of course who you are and at
some point of course you're gonna have
to write down a little bit of a cover
sheet why you want the job what type of
person you are and I've read so many in
my life and I know that everyone writes
I'm I'm a team player
I'm very smiley I'm a positive person
and you know what that's fantastic
put that in but at least give me some
sort of backup why are you a team player
give me an example of that why you say
you're a smiley person how do you know
that are people telling you that all the
time write it in there is your parent
smiley and all my family smiley and
we're all smiley hey let me know because
I think I've sometimes feel everybody
writes that in and I would like some
backup or some proof that that is
actually true for you another thing I
like to see in an inner resume is that
people have written down how they have
helped others you know when we're in the
restaurant business we are actually
helping people all the time I'm helping
people get their drink I'm helping
people get this this is a job that you
like to do because you really care about
other people you really want to take
care of other people show me in your CV
that you've taken care of others I like
when I see when people wrote down I've
been a babysitter I love my job I love
children I like taking care of them
I've worked in an older elderly home I
like talking to these people making them
feel good I've donated some time to
you know charity or somewhere around my
community to help other people show me
that you want to that you like and you
love to help other people because that
is a lot of the job that we do on the
floor as well also teamwork this word
you can always write that down and it
just means actually not so much unless
you have some type of backup have you
ever worked in a team maybe you played
sports before that is a great team type
of contribution you can get people
together write that in there put some
backup on how you were a a great team
player and being on the floor it is
working on in a team you will be working
in a team so of course I need to know
what that is and you know think of
different examples that are going to
make you stick out and this is going to
be on some this is going to be a CV that
I'm gonna like keep in the yes pile for
myself of course you want to put down
some background if you've had a lot of
small jobs before I can recommend you
know to just put on the last ones there
that have high relevance to this same
job if you worked in a bakery or
somewhere else you know put this down or
some type of job where you have service
contact with gas or your customers make
sure to write that down give me some
examples about the how that was
underneath the work I like when people
write down a little bit about I really
like this job because doesn't know I end
up leaving this job because of
da-da-da-da-da
I think that's fair enough and it always
gives the person that's going to
interview you a little bit more
information and it can set you aside so
they put that resume and keep it and
give you a call if this is your first
job that you're looking for in a waiter
situation it's alright if you haven't
had a job before I really I have hired
so many people that this was their first
job was a waiter and waitress job and in
that way it's great for me as a trainer
because I can train the person however I
want I don't have to
any other habits or reverse anything
before we move forward so you have just
as great as a chance as anybody else
does depending on of course the
restaurant that you're trying out for
just remember that if you have not had a
job with anyone else maybe put down some
examples of where you helped out for
example in a catering at or at a big
party or you know in a group or working
with food somehow or even how you like
to cook in the kitchen or help with the
family meals some type of example like
that and also again if you have ever
helped or different examples that can
show that you're a good team player or
worked in the team with other people the
other thing is I would always look up
the restaurant telephone number that
you're trying to apply for a lot of
times they're going to contact you on
your mobile phone and I know that when I
call somebody I am really listening to
be listening to see how are they
answering that phone hi my name is Lisa
you don't sound like an up person you
know I want someone answer from like oh
good morning this is Lisa I like when
people answer the phone and they're very
up and they make me say good morning or
something like that so make sure after
you hand this resume in and you think
there is some type of time limit and
this person is going to be calling you
within a week hey I would definitely
answer the phone in a very up way that
whole entire week so that when they call
you they're like wow I talked to this
person on the phone and they're super
energetic and positive and I really want
them to coming to this interview when
they call you up on the phone and they
ask you when you can come in and let's
say it's Tuesday at 4 o'clock and you
definitely can't do that because you had
some other appointment that you can't
get out of please just don't say no I
can't come in at that time I always say
I would love to come in at that time
however I have an agreement or an
appointment was something that I could
just absolutely cannot change however I
am available this day this time kept
after that and I really do not want to
miss this opportunity to speak with you
after you get your resume done I would
go on to the website of the restaurant
if they have one because maybe you can
apply through that website otherwise of
course I would print a bunch out and I
would think about what type of paper you
print it out I mean you don't have to
print it out on just the cheap paper you
get at the grocery store I mean go and
invest in just some really nice paper
maybe at your craft store and print it
out on that I mean people can feel
thicknesses of paper and if it's a
little bit special that always helps it
stick out just a little bit more as well
I would go to the restaurant and if I
went and had to pick a day I would pick
Monday or Tuesday and kind of in the
mornings if I could because that's
usually when the manager is there and I
know as a manager if I need a new waiter
or a waitress and they walk in on a
Monday or Tuesday and I need this person
by like Friday I am most likely going to
take that interview right then and there
so be ready to actually do that as well
when you come in it doesn't mean you
know act nice to the person that is
greeting you at the door but don't be
afraid ask may I please speak with your
manager and see what they say if they're
there hey that's one step closer to your
new job so go for it and have the
confidence and ask to speak to the
manager and you know when you're doing
that even though you haven't had a real
interview yet take it as an interview
from the time you meet that person shake
their hand and make some eye contact
that that interview could actually be
starting right now and however their
first impressions and you know how first
impressions are about you when you even
to come in to deliver that resume is
actually part of your interview
