Summary
I have worked for Diesel Nightclub nine years November of 2022. In this time, I have worked my way up to the position that I am in. I am a fast paced bartender and am able to serve multiple people at once. I have always been reliable and dedicated to my job. I have built a following of people who prefer that only I serve them. I have began and ran a VIP section at the club, I introduced merchandise for our customers to purchase, I am also the reason that we have a "shot girl/boy." I have come up with many money making ideas, many different themed nights, and have absolutely enjoyed doing so. I have now been in the Lead position for a few years and believe I have done well carrying out the tasks that were expected of me and more.
