While working at Orlen Eye Care, I had the position of being both an Optometric Technician and a Receptionist.

I had the responsibility of pre-testing patients, ordering and dispensing contacts, scheduling appointments, checking in and out patients, referring patients to more advanced offices for extra care, and answering incoming calls.

As well as my responsibilities as a Technician, my additional responsibilities as the Manager had been to keep track of sales, having meetings with Business Representatives, managed paper filing systems by recording information, updating paperwork and maintaining documents, interviewed, and trained medical office teams.

Being a server consisted of not only taking orders and serving foods, but also hosting events. Because this restaurant was a Country Club, they hosted many events including weddings, baby showers, holiday parties, and awareness’s. I had the responsibilities of prepping for these events and serving food and alcoholic beverages.

Reason for leaving: I was looking for a job that would be suitable for my job career. Unfortunately, a server position wasn’t a requirement for an office position.
