Do I need to write a cover letter?

Whenever you apply for a new job, you should always add a customized cover letter to your job application. The cover letter allows you to build on your resume details. It also helps explain your previous experience and skill set. Importantly, it lets you explain why you are applying for the role with this restaurant.

How can I change my resume for different job applications?

You should always customize your resume for each job application. To do this, look at the job description and job advert. You’ll often find clues about what the hiring manager is looking for. Without lying about anything, you can then ensure your resume ticks these boxes for the hiring manager to give you the best chance of an interview.

What if I don’t have management experience?

It’s always a challenge to land management roles without previous management experience. However, it’s not impossible; you’ll have to establish your potential through your skills and previous experience and then back this up with a professional cover letter outlining why you’ll be great for the role.
