How to Format a Baker Resume
The best resume format for most job seekers is the reverse-chronological resume. This format puts the work experience section immediately after the contact info and the resume summary. By placing your work history near the top, employers can quickly scan the highlights of your workplace experience, beginning with your most recent job.
Not all job seekers have a straightforward career path, however. Some candidates would benefit from a skills-based resume or a hybrid resume. Take the candidates below, for example.
Candidate A has been employed consistently for six years, including four years at their current employer. Candidate B has taken a less conventional path, job-hopping between restaurants and bakeries for nearly 10 years with the occasional break for personal reasons. This candidate, while more experienced, would benefit from a skills-based(or functional) resume that puts qualifications at the forefront.
We’ve bolded the qualifications that both candidates have in common so you can easily see the difference between approaches.

Baker Resume FAQ
What should a baker put on a resume?
A baker’s resume should showcase their career successes and achievements in a way that impresses employers. Your resume should highlight the full-breadth of your baking skills plus your ability to perform other daily tasks, like taking inventory, cleaning, and opening and closing the store. Make sure to include all key sections of a resume, such as contact info, work history, skills, career summary and education.
How do you write a resume for a culinary job?
Culinary resumes should include all of the critical resume sections, such as:
- Contact info
- Career summary or resume objective
- Work experience
- Skills and qualifications
- Education
Culinary candidates can include optional sections like volunteer work or certifications if they so desire.
When you’re ready to start writing, you can use a resume builder, which will suggest prewritten skills and work history tasks based on your previous jobs. If you decide to write your resume on your own, start by taking an inventory of the duties and responsibilities in your current and previous employment so you know what to highlight on your application document.
What is the objective of a baker?
A baker’s resume objective statement should convey your passion, knowledge and culinary skills, and state your goal for the role. Here’s an example of a well-written objective for a baker:
“Seasoned baker with 5+ years of culinary experience seeking the assistant manager role at XYZ Bakery. In my current position, I helped train and mentor five new team members and developed a promotional campaign that drove muffin sales up by 60%.
