This is the second post in our series on getting started with Resume Chef. In this post, we will discuss how to add your work experience to your resume. Your work experience is an important part of your resume, as it provides potential employers with information about your skills and qualifications. So, let’s get started!

How to Add Your Work Experience

When it comes to creating a strong resume, one of the most important sections is your work experience. This section gives hiring managers and recruiters an idea of what you’ve accomplished in previous roles and how those skills can be applied to the job you’re applying for.

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the process of adding your work experience to your ResumeChef resume. Follow these simple steps:

Step 1 Enter All Companies You Have Worked For

First, add all of the companies that you have worked for. Right now we just need the names of the companies. The dates and positions we will add later.

1. Log into your ResumeChef account and click on the “Companies” tab. From there, click on create new company and enter the name of the first company you’d like to add.
2. Repeat this process for each company you’ve worked for.

Step 2 Add Your Job Titles or Positions

Next, add the job titles or positions you’ve held at each company.

1. Click on the Positions tab and then click on create new position.
2. Select the company you want to add the position to and enter the job title or position you held at that company.
3. Select the start and end dates for that position. Leave the end date blank if you are currently employed at that company.
4. Repeat this process for each position you’ve held.

Step 3 Add Your Responsibilities for Each Position

Now, add the responsibilities you had for each position.

1. Click on the Responsibilities tab and then click on create new responsibility.
2. Select the position you want to add the responsibility to and enter the responsibility you had in that position. You can enter multiple responsibilities for each position if you’d like, or just one. Adding more responsibilities will give potential employers a better idea of what you’ve accomplished in that role and will allow us to customize your resume further. But don’t worry, this can also be done later.
3. Repeat this process for each responsibility you had.

Step 4 Add Your Achievements for Each Position

Finally, add any achievements you had in each position.

1. Click on the Achievements tab and then click on create new achievement.
2. Select the position you want to add the achievement to and enter the achievement you had in that position. You can enter multiple achievements for each position if you’d like, or just one. Adding achievements will help you stand out from the competition and show potential employers what you’ve accomplished in your previous roles. Add as many achievements as you’d like, even if they seem small. Every achievement counts! The more detailed the accomplishments are, the better we can customize your resume to highlight your skills and experience.
3. Repeat this process for each achievement you had.

Conclusion
