Summary

As a college student, I have gained valuable experience through my work in excavation construction and bartending roles. These diverse positions have equipped me with a strong foundation in customer service, teamwork, time management, and adaptability. In excavation construction, I developed critical skills in problem-solving, attention to detail, and working effectively in a fast-paced environment. Transitioning to bartending further honed my interpersonal communication skills, ability to multitask, and customer satisfaction focus. The combination of these experiences has prepared me well for a future role as a waiter/bartender, where I can leverage my skills to deliver exceptional service and contribute positively to the team.
