I worked as the Dining Hall Director which meant I was in charge of keeping the 700 person dining hall clean and ensuring everyone was properly fed. The previous season at this summer camp there were major issues with the hours the staff were working as well as the quality of work. I was hired to specifically solved those issues. The staff went from staying until 1:00 AM to getting out at 8:00 PM. This was my first year on staff and I had the privilege of being the first first-year dining hall director in the camps history.
