- I say about a month later I was made into a shift manager for the mornings till lunch time and that’s when I was given more responsibilities.
- I went from just cooking burgers and cleaning the kitchen to taking over a crew.
- That tells you I’m a fast learner and always accomplish and duty given to me.
- No matter the task I will complete it especially with a good hardworking team.
