Work History

Bartender/Server

Hooligans Bar & Grill
06.2020 - Current
  • At this job I was able to ease myself into what it is like to manage a restaurant. I was luckily able to be acting manager about two times a week because I asked for the experience.
  • I learned how to multi-task in a very stressful environment full of drunk tourists and complaining servers.
  • I applied the sales skills I have learned in the past.

Kitchen Prep Cook

Margaritas
11.2021 - 05.2022
  • Washed, peeled and cut vegetables in advance to save time on food preparation.
  • Operated dishwasher and manually washed dishes to clean all chinaware, silverware and cooking utensils.
  • Pretty basic job just needed money while at school.

Server

Piper Shores
10.2018 - 03.2021
  • I'm not going to bore with obvious explanations of a server.
  • This was my first opportunity to learn how the restaurant industry works in a very small sample size; since this is a restaurant inside of a retirement home. At this restaurant I learned how to appeal to my target audience (really old people). I did this by taking every opportunity I had to ask them what they liked and did not liked. With these conversations I was not only making my job easier, but I learned that extra effort helped me so much in the long run by building my sales skills.

Car Wash Attendant

Sparkle Clean Car Wash
05.2017 - 10.2018
  • This is where I first started working at 14 years old and found my fascination with sales and advertising.
  • I learned how to communicate with customers to determine their needs.
  • I found the best way for me to sell without me having to tug customers arms, and I learned how certain advertisements performed compared to others.
