Summary

Hi! I'm Carlyn! I live in the Olympia area. I'm hard working, focused, organized, social, a great communicator and upbeat. I have had a full-time, successful career in the finance industry for the past 12 years. Prior to that, in my younger years, I worked at coffee stands as a barista, or restaurants as a cocktail server/waitress for about 12 years. I am looking for something fun to add to my daily life back working in customer service. Something fast-paced and fun. I took on a seasonal job at Row as a server in Olympia this summer during seasonal summer hiring, and I had a blast. It was fast-paced, which is where I thrive best in. The customers loved me, the great reviews came in mentioning the experience customers had having me as their server, and it made me feel great! I love people. I am very thorough, upbeat, welcoming, and made sure all my customers had a great dining experience. I got along great with my kitchen staff and colleagues. It was after the temporary seasonal job I took on there, that I realized I missed it and wanted to get back in the industry, working again in the public doing what I loved most to add to my daily life. I am looking for something part-time w/flexible days and hours, in addition to my stable self employed career life. I know I will be a great asset to whomever I work for, and I hope for the opportunity to prove it to you!
