Catering Manager Resume Samples

Updated on: October 15, 2022

Looking for catering manager job opportunities that best match your qualifications is easy if you can possibly separate the gold from the sand.

It is imperative that the right set of eyes sees your resume and that it does not go to just anyone within a company.

The people who are responsible for the critical decision to hire you are the ones that need to see your resume – and not ones that may not give it much thought.

So which type of a catering manager resume will be considered as “gold” in your preferred company?

Plain text or full design?

The latter has more pizzazz – a visual appeal is as important as the content and let’s face it, plain text resumes have none of that!

But creating a full design resume for a catering manager position is certainly no joke and requires a lot of work.

Below are 2 samples of a full design resume for a catering manager position:
