Work History
Cook
CenturyLink
09.2017
I've worked very busy games with a great and happy attitude during stressful times with hoards of customers at a great pace and showing composure at the many different types of menu preferences. My squad were top of our game through every obstacle and I never once thought we weren't on task. After the games and we were completely finished cleaning up the kitchen I assessed my whole team and how they could've helped each other and myself by having proper personal protective equipment at all times and making sure everything was performed to the best of our ability.

Luckily I had been working hard enough to perform tasks like lifting and bailing huge amounts of fully grown christmas trees in the extreme weather.

I have since took my knowledge from Job corps and have built several projects on my spare time including a fireplace grate, all different types of Skate board rails, round rails and flat rails which all sold very quickly.
