Coming from a blue collar retail background generally intense fast paste working conditions I felt has really generated my mind to be more immune to those type of businesses. Walmart has taught me how to keep composure and get task done efficiently at the same time in order to see success in the crew it’s also helped strengthen my bonding skills with others over time with the company which allowed the department to be able the achieve big goals, Tasks with the store so with having that to carry on my shoulders for 3 years I feel that should play a big role anywhere I go. As well with having another 3 years of experience in the food industry as a intern for parkway west technology center built a different set of important skills that i carry till this day it structured more of communication and decision making with other cooks, being to able handle customer service helped a lot.
