The restaurant just had their grand opening, so I learned how to cook at this time. I helped everyone and trained the kitchen staff on how to properly prepare the restaurant.

I was responsible for cooking rice and noodles for the restaurant. I prepared the vegetables, noodles, rice, meat and fish for the chefs and the to-go chefs. I made sure every chef had their eggs, butter, and sauces are filled before they cook. I've worked. as a dishwasher, busboy, kitchen cook, and sushi helper when the restaurant needed me due to a call-off.

As a screw machine operator, I accountable for two machines that would produce various types of screws. The job involved carrying 25-50lbs of steel inside a six rotating conveyor machine. If one of the machines breaks down, I was responsible to fix the machine in order to keep my hourly production number.

Agency would relocate me to a different manufacturing company every month. I would be placed in different job types that included as a lineworker, packer, and janitor.
