Hello. I've got another question for the professionals out there. I'm putting together my first resume, and I'm a bit unsure of one thing. I know you list your experience and describe your duties, I'm just wondering how to do this without sounding overly general (ie worked saute and grill line, made omelettes, eggs, etc...) Or, conversely, is it supposed to be that general (I know that resumes are supposed to summarize your experience/education)? Or maybe I just have a boring use of language?

Thanks for the different perspectives.
