At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience

On offer

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Put the names of the restaurants you worked at and your average covers per shift at the top of your CV.
Recruiters ask about a difficult table, so have one real story ready about how you turned it around.
