Summary
I pick up on new skills well and I'm eager to work. I like to get my job done and done correct. If I mess up or don't reach my own standard I'll do my best to fix or improve on the issue right away. I like to keep myself busy outside of regular cooking work flow by prepping, restocking and cleaning. I have over two years working in a fast passed kitchen and close to 4 years in food/ customer service.

- Started at 15 as a dish washer
- 1.5 years later I started learning food prep and became a breakfast cook.
- I opened at 5:30 am on weekends prepping bacon, hash and the rest of my line including steam tables and stocking
- learned to cook eggs scrambled, easy, medium, hard and poached
- 10 am to 11 am I would get lunch items prepped like warming up soups for line, baking more bacon, heating pulled pork in the oven, cooking burger patties and grilled chicken
- lunch rush would be faster paced if I didn't have a coworker scheduled with me I would have my boss help me on the line.
- After a month or so i got good and didn't need help through the slow season.
- I worked this shift for a year until I was a senior in high school then I picked up Mondays and Tuesdays after school
- Once I finally graduated I worked Monday through Thursdays as a dinner cook starting during lunch 11am to 10pm/close
- I often picked up extra shifts and would get lots of overtime.
- I had good relationships with almost all my coworkers and we'd all communicate well back and forth between front and back of the house.
- I also worked as a server for about a month to improve customer service skills
