What do Head Waiters do? How are their duties different from those of waiters? The similarities are very close but the difference is striking. However, in writing a Head Waiter CV, there is not much difference. Only, in the presentation of skills and duties, there should be a distinction in a way that skills should be a step higher and deeper than a plain waiter’s skills. Since you are the Head Waiter, show some management and supervision skills. Include duties that imply responsibility and accountability on your part. One effective way to write a Head Waiter CV that will readily show these skills is by way of the Objective section. The good thing about this section is you can discuss your goals for the company and at the same time, show what you can offer to achieve these goals. Look at the sample below.
