Summary
I am a talented Cake decorator/Baker with15 years' experience creating breads, rolls, bagels, cakes and muffins for Costco's bakery. Exceeding performance targets with quality decorating and baking skills, History of growth, and customer satisfaction. On many occasions I was recognized for my work. An example is, we had what we called a walk. Where a regional manager would come to the store and check to make sure the employees were performing our duties to the store standards. That day I was making brownies and the regional took a picture of the product I was working on and sent it out to all the stores in our region. He sent it out with a message stating that that was the way he expected the product to look. Another time we had a walk where the CEO shook my hand an complemented me on a job well done. In the 15 years working with Costco I enjoyed helping the members and doing the job to the best of my ability. I perform my work with an outgoing energetic spirit, good attitude and treat all members or customers with respect and kindness. My expertise has been mainly in bakery work but I'm really looking to learn new skills. I have experience in remodeling do to renovating homes with my husband. I have wanted to learn cashiering for a long time now and have been interested in anything having to do with home improvements. I am a fast learner and would appreciate any opportunity to learn a new skill.
