💡 What makes this Executive Chef resume work

Quantify everything: every achievement includes concrete numbers (hours, percentages, amounts) — recruiters trust data, not adjectives.
Action verbs: every bullet starts with a strong past-tense verb, never "responsible for" or "in charge of".
No first person: the summary avoids "I", "my", and "me" — professional resumes use implied third person.
ATS keywords: includes the technical terms applicant tracking systems scan for automatically.
