When giving job descriptions work on your verbiage. If you Google "resume job description for (insert job title here)" you will find lots of good stuff. Here is a link for food service job descriptions I looked up: https://www.jobhero.com/resume-samples/server/

Work on formatting of dates, etc. Look at the paper samples of other resumes and look up some online to see how it is done super smooth. Here is one resume example that I think the formatting is pretty "spot on".
