Barista resume questions
Where does my TESDA Barista NC II go on a barista resume?
Put it right under your objective, so it's the first thing a shop sees. Write the certificate name and the year you passed.
What do I write if I don't have a barista certificate yet?
Leave it off and lead with your education and the drink skills you have. Some shops train new hires on the job, so you can still apply.
Should I put my birthday or a photo on it?
Leave your birthday off. Since 2016, Republic Act 10911 has made it unlawful for employers in the Philippines to require your age or birth date while you apply. Leave the photo off too, unless the job post asks for one.
Should I send it as a PDF or a Word file?
PDF, unless the job post asks for Word. A PDF looks the same on every screen. Put your name in the file name, like Nicole-Tiongson-Resume.pdf.
