How to Format a Food Production Worker Resume
You may format your food production resume in one of three layouts: a chronological, hybrid or functional layout. Each format has its strengths and weaknesses — you can learn more about their differences through our resume formats writing guide. Below, we also created two sample job candidates to give you practical examples of how to apply these formats.
Candidate A has a few years of experience across multiple canning warehouses. A hybrid resume helps create a detailed timeline of promotions and growing responsibilities while also showcasing your skill set. Candidate B, however, is relatively new to the food production industry. They’ve undergone extensive food safety training and can use the functional resume to prioritize their safe food handling, attention to detail and certifications above their lack of work experience.
