BENJAMIN MCDORMAN

I am a lifeguard at the YMCA, I open the pool every weekday morning. Responsibilities entail watching over the patrons, making sure you're alert on the radio if there is an emergency. Cleaning up and making sure the pool is in safe conditions during my shift. I have recently gotten a raise there for my. performances, and I am in an ongoing discussion about talking with my immediate supervisor, Will Kent. I am in a running to become a supervisor which entails a specific responsibility to each supervisor. For instance, one supervisor is in charge on handling swim school, another is about in services, etc. So this is a step in my aquatics job.

• Monitored safety of guests in and around swimming pool.
• Provided friendly customer service to guests and addressed concerns.
• Maintained a clean and safe facility, performing necessary cleaning tasks on a daily basis.

I was on the media team intern. I worked with in a team with other interns to shoot videos from interviews to promotional videos, etc. Big Tent Coalition was a non-governmental organization, we helped some board members run again for their terms in their associated district. I also helped in another internship spot that involved walking from door to door, and asking patrons if they vote by mail. In our efforts, we tried to ask and give patrons the option to vote by mail for the republican party. We also did a lot of computer work that involved putting data into a spreadsheet for our managers to move forward with. I enjoyed the job and I enjoyed the impact I was trying to have every shift.

• Assisted in organizing photoshoots, coordinating talent schedules, location scouting, and managing equipment logistics.

I worked as a server in another restaurant called Brickstone Brewery & Restaurant. It was another good learning and fast paced environment. I enjoyed my time there, I only worked there for a summer when I was back from school. I left Brickstone at the end of that summer and have not been back since.

Some things that I dealt with on an average shift:

• Worked with POS system to place orders, manage bills, and handle complimentary items.
• Collaborated with team members during busy shifts for efficient workflow and excellent guest experiences.
• Cultivated warm relationships with regular customers.

I was a server for Texas Roadhouse, I enjoyed the interactions I encountered everyday. I had the responsibilities of making sure that my customers were taken care of, doing what I can to make my customers were experiencing a good meal. Also had the duties of doing side work, which was little things like cleaning up back in the kitchen, setting up everything, etc. It was a good work environment, It was a job you can see something new everyday. I enjoyed how fun and faced pace it was, always moving on your feet, I liked having the interactions I had.

I was a line cook at Olive Guard for my freshman year of college. Learned how work in a team environment and stepping up to fast paced workspace. Paying attention to detail is important in this duty.

• Set up and prepared cooking supplies and workstations during opening and closing to maximize productivity.
• Plated and presented all dishes to match established restaurant standards.
• Increased kitchen productivity by keeping tools organized for easy access when needed.
