Teamwork and communication
Working well with my team members and communicating clearly in any situation
were a daily requirement. Whether it was refilling the water bottle of a teammate who fell into
the "weeds", running to the back storage to help replace a keg for the bar; helping each other
out and having a teammate's back has become second nature. Years of interacting face-to-face
with guests, coordinating the orders of multiple tables and guests with the bar, kitchen, and
managers, in a often hectic and stressful enviornment, have truly made my interpersonal skills
and ability to communicate effectively and expressively my greatest strengths.
Motivated to learn and improve
Starting as a bus boy, to eventually being responsible for a restaurant's
front-of-house team, I have a passion to learn and improve as much as I can. Learning to
bartend, how to make sushi, or attaining my sommelier certificate, were possible because I try
my best to absorb then apply lessons and traits of great coworkers, managers, and employees. I
am confident my desire to grow and learn will be invaluable for a role in which technologies and
languages are constantly evolving.
