Summary

As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for over three years, I find myself constantly wanting to advance. Within the seven months of experience I have had so far as a server, I have learned that this job comes naturally to me. I am someone that remains calm under pressure, can adapt easily to new situations and always looks for ways to help. Along with this, I am a great people person and always make sure my tables have a good experience when they are dining. Overall, I value my coworkers as much as any customer I have and feel that I would make a great addition to any restaurant that would have me.
