Cleaning and Re-Setting tables was the main focus but as the Morning Star Company teach there "Colleges" Self Management Principles. I was expected to be an experienced worker in the field able to know his job and get it accomplished with team effort. Because we all know that Team Work makes the Dream Work! Staying faithful to a schedule, never calling off and always staying on time. And I look forward to keeping up that same efficiency!
