Please answer these. Your answers go into your notes, and only then onto the resume.
- Did you do anything on the system itself, such as testing it, setting it up or training people on it?
- Have you ever approved spending yourself, even a small amount?
- Are you willing to study for the Green Belt? If so, tell me and I will add the date you plan to start.
- At Brackenfield, did you work under any written food or hygiene rules? What were they called?
- Have you started any degree study, even unfinished?
Left off the resume on purpose
- How much the expiring-stock count saved. Your notes say nobody measured it, so the resume gives no figure.
- "Budget management", "Green Belt" and "HACCP". The job ad uses these words, and you do not have them yet.
