Strengths and Weaknesses

Since hiring 65 employees at Taco bell ,I have built up a good communication skills. I have learned how to motivate my crew and to help them become a stronger team.

I believe in 100% accountability . I have been employed here for almost 3 years now, my profomance should show that I'm a team player and will do what is right all the time. NO SHORT-CUTS!


I always can use more time management training,

Need to take a Spanish class to help both employee and myself on understanding each other.

I need some computer time my skills are weak due to not using it that often.
