      Answer Example

      "After graduating from San Diego Culinary Institute, I started working for my family's restaurant franchise. I worked my way up to kitchen manager after just 2 short years. Desiring to expand my experience, I then worked with 'X' for 5 years as a kitchen manager, and then 'Y' for 2 years. Overall, I have been a successful kitchen manager for the past 9 years. My biggest offerings as a kitchen manager are my ability to seamlessly train and mentor staff, keep food costs under budget, and deliver amazing quality every time. I really look forward to bringing my skills and experience to your kitchen."
