How a sous chef resume changes by level

The three samples share the same section order and formatting; what changes is the scope each bullet claims. The differences are in the summary's framing, the size of the results in each bullet, and the skills that only show up once you have owned a bigger piece of the work. Pick the level that matches the scope you actually held, not the title you want next.

Moving up a level is mostly a rewrite of the same bullets with bigger scope: a team instead of a task, a budget instead of a ticket, a result the business measured instead of one you did. The sous chef tailoring guide shows those rewrites line by line, and the free resume review tells you which level your current resume reads as.
