Summary
My strongest attribute is my ability to listen and learn. I love learning new skills and things about how the world works. I learned how to cut my own hair; I only messed up the first time. All of my others self-cuts after that were nice and clean. I am very hungry, and determined to get to where I want to be. My strong skills in being able to be taught and coached to become something great are why I am the best candidate for the spot.

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill

04.2024 - Current
- Upon working at Dairy Queen, I had no idea I would learn so much. Like most teens, I looked at it as a normal job to have a little extra cash in my pocket. At my job, I am 95% in the grill. I make all of the food, and clean the dishes on nights that I close. Occasionally, I hop around different areas to help out when it's busy. When I applied for the job, I was aware I would run into altercations, problems, and frustrations. However, I have gained some unexpected life skills in the process. I became more patient and understanding in tough situations. My critical thinking sharpened under pressure. I was also able to find solutions to problems that helped save us during rushes.
- Upheld high standards of productivity and quality in operations.
- Implemented strategies to take advantage of new opportunities.
- Greeted customers upon entering the store with friendly demeanor.
