Accomplishments

With the pressure of keeping a vendor happy with the inspection and the grading of the product has taught me the ability to maintain a constant level of inspections. So as to get the product ready for return shippments.

Communication with the boss of the company who was the one to talk to was always in the loop. Let him know what is left for the next day in case I was not there.

Additional Information

As a cake decorator you need to listen to what it is the customer wants and expects to have on their order. Communication is key, all the time. If confused, it’s okay to repeat what you think you heard.
