Summary

I retired in January of 2026 and would like to find a part time job using my skills. I owned and operated a fine dining restaurant in Norther NY for 11 years and then took a job as a Catering Manager which I did for 11 years. I moved to Maine, and worked one season at Sebasco Harbor Resort as the Pilot House Manager. Then I took a job at Bowdoin College first working as a Catering person, and then as a floor supervisor. I transitioned into an HR position with Dining services and did payroll for around 120 people, along with all the student hiring and schedules, that Casual hiring and placement and all the staffing needs for the 1200 events the Catering Department does each year. I was also responsible for onboarding. I have skills. I am looking for a hostess job or scheduling and payroll, or even floor managing but in a part time capacity.
