For my short time there - I helped with numerous tasks like primarily serving drinks/food to customer satisfaction, preformed different levels of cleaning such as sweeping then mopping as well as a role as wiping to dishwashing (glasses), and lesser tasks that didn't need too much thought.

Second job ever, did the exact same things if not maybe slightly catered to customer service (non-waiter) like they are more on the side of fetching them special requests which could've been from extra sauces to more napkins to even replacement forks or knifes etc.

My high school paid for senior internships during the last 3 weeks and four days of my final semester in high school, which you could select where you wanted to be for that duration. Unlike everyone else, I got two internships in the public works department in the town hall and just out of the town's limits was the nature center, starting with public works I got to tour the town's many construction projects within New Canaan full well participating in lots of board meetings, moving on I had to leave thirty minutes before heading over to the nature center to care for their animals; because the center also acted as a animal exhibit honestly that was my only other role before it ended around 4-5 PM.

This was a job offer given to me by dad made possible from the Ayla Oasis community in the Middle East, which gave me international experience in working jobs outside of the United States. I worked in three departments across different industries. My first department, was maintenance building better known as the workshop on the golf course's outskirts to lend a hand with every tech that called for assistance. My second department was in line in the community's marina, where my job was to clean the waters of any waste or trash not forgetting that I would clean the underbelly of small watercrafts from gunk/barnacles to cleaning the main deck just the same. My final department, saw me in the the golf academy where I would aid customers while staying on top of my duties that were wiping down entire golf bags to polishing the golf carts to so many others.

It was a temporary job, as I was in the process of transitioning to a far superior job that is higher end and is in fine dining category. I had to learn pretty quick to make my own rules up to add to my very likeable work ethic by many, for example if there was a loaded tray with multiple used items on it; I would take it to the back of the house to break it down. So many times over again. I was for the most part mainly a runner in both expo, salads, drinks, and deserts for my whole time working there.

My very recent job that I was let go off like the others (never once have I been fired or quit), this was the job I was transitioning to from Outback. I did it all really, from the moment I walked in to the late hours I would work in the same corner overlooking the front area including checking the back too. Helping who I could. Employees at the latest were expected around 3:30, but what they got instead was a employee who would show up a hour and thirty early before anyone else, A few months had gone by after a rocky start however I got into the habit of doing the pre-shift right away and my roles hadn't change like the previously aforementioned ones (Back End + Bodega).
