Summary

My first job experience in the retail industry provided me with strong customer service skills, taught me how to always keep a positive attitude, and how to professionally engage with customers. These skills have only grown stronger as I've worked more jobs, and I believe how I interact with customers is one of my strongest skills. Although I am relatively new to the food industry, I am very determined and have a strong work ethic, leading me to learn and adapt fast. I have improved exponentially through my time as a server. I am a college student, but I am a reliable employee, as I prioritize work as much as my studies. I am always trying to continue growing my skills, and I look forward to new opportunities.
