Summary

Serving truly makes me look forward to going into work, in a way none of my previous jobs really have. Having positive interactions with guests, and forming relationships with people who return to the restaurant genuinely makes me feel fulfilled, and encourages me to keep working every day. Though a few of my past jobs aren't entirely related to serving, please take my word, and the fact that I love my current serving job back at home, and know that I am the perfect addition to your team, as a server!
