What to put in a cook bio-data
Recruiters for cooks scan a bio-data in seconds, so keep it to one page in this order:
- Name, role and contact at the top, with your city and phone number.
- Objective, one line on the cook role you want.
- Key skills, the job-ready ones such as indian cuisine, bulk cooking, menu planning, kitchen hygiene.
- Work experience, with employer, place, years and duties.
- Education and any 10th pass or certificate.
- Personal details, date of birth, languages and licence where relevant.
A cook is usually hired for canteens, hostels, hotels, hospitals and catering firms, so match your experience and skills to that kind of workplace.
