Summary

Dear Hiring Manager,


Giving customers genuine care and service to overly satisfy their needs has been my expertise for the past six years. I have been a Gaucho Chef for only the past year so although I'm still perfecting the craft my team and my boss can vouch for me as a power house in the kitchen as well as on the dining room floor. Bartending is something I am very eager to try as it involves conversation and sales which brings out my hidden talents. I take care of my sister and my niece so I take my line of work very seriously I have family to provide for . My goal is to continue to work in customer service to hone my people skills for my future real estate career. Currently in school to pass my state exam to get my salesperson license, eventually going industrial or commercial.
