Searched the site and didn’t find much on the subject (sorry if I missed the thread if it’s out there). I am needing a little advice on how to craft my beer resume because I’m now looking full time for a brewing position at a brew house (anywhere…it doesn’t matter where).
What I have so far is a three page document. Now, everything I’ve been told about resumes is keep it to one page. I’m assuming this isn’t true for this field as they probably want to know about my brewing history of sorts.
So page one is the usual resume (previous work history, awards, activities, etc). Page two and three are a list of each beer I’ve brewed to date broken down into partial mash and all-grain with dates and style (along with what I named the beers). For each, there is a one paragraph description outlining what hops and malts I used and the reasoning behind them (for the most part) and alcohol content.
Now, I have no idea if this is a bonus or a negative. Am I missing something? Should I add some stuff? Take some things out? I used my cover letter to outline that I’ve been brewing for almost two years now, read 7 plus books on the subject, and built my own all grain system.
If you would like to check out the resume, it can be downloaded by going here: It's a word doc.
UPDATE
Here's the revised resume based on everyone's wonderful words of advice. Also, for the record I'm not looking to be hired as a head brewmaster. An assistant is fine and I know I'm going to be shoveling alot of grain. I just don't want to be slapped onto a bottling asembly line and that's all I do for a year.
New Resume right here.
