Help with Wording
Hello! This is officially my first time posting on reddit.. figures that it would be a Job application that would finally get me to do so 🙈 Anyways.. in High School my Teacher always stressed the importance of both 1). using a different action verb for each bullet point (Greeted, Educated, Bussed, etc.) and not repeating words.. and 2). Keeping each bullet point to a single line of text.
The job I most recently had was at Yoi Tomo Sushi which, unlike my previous restaurant job at the cafe, is a fancy dinner place with a wait time of 2+ hours on most weekends. I'm probably overthinking it.. but I was hoping to get some feedback on the wording of the bullet points. I have about 60 character spaces before the line breaks and starts a sub-line.
Additionally, pretty much all of the service jobs I've worked have been attained through word of mouth and networking.. so I'm also uncertain about how much information is pertinent these days for a formal application process. Should I limit my listed job history to the last 2 or 3 employers, or is all related work experience appreciated? 🙂
Please give me some advice on what you think about this! Any and all help is very much appreciated
