Summary

Although I am relatively young, I sincerely understand and appreciate the values of hard work and dedication when it comes to carrying out a job effectively and efficiently. I am very hard working and dependable, but I also know when to count on and help out my fellow co-workers. In turn, I believe this helps me to develop better relationships, not only with the people I'm working with, but also the guests that we serve. I have great communication skills, and a positive attitude. Along with this, I consider myself a pretty quick learner, and even when things get tough, I believe that I'm flexible enough to keep trying until I get the hang of it. Although I'm sure there is still much to learn, I hope that you and your team can show me the ropes and give me a chance to help your restaurant succeed and keep guests coming back every time!

Additional Information

Since childhood, the values of dedication and hard work have been engrained into my brain. With the help of both my grandmother and father (both being entrepreneurs) I have learned that nothing comes easy, and that if you really want something, then you have to work hard for it. Although spending my summers helping my father to tile floors or paint walls, might not of been my exact idea of fun at the time, I couldn't thank and appreciate him enough for the lessons I've learned from it and the work ethic I've acquired. And it is this exact mindset (along with my charismatic personality) that I plan to carry on into any profession I choose to pursue (including yours!) And if I've learned nothing else from all of the wisdom that they have given me, at least I know that hard work is rewarded, so if you consider me for your position, I will do my absolute best to let you know that you have made the right decision!
