As a Server, Busser, and To-Go at El Sombrero, I provided prompt, respectful service in a fast paced, high volume environment. My responsibilities included accurately taking dine-in and to-go orders, handling customer service, food running, tabling, and packing orders. I kept the dining and to-go areas clean and organized, assisted guests with special needs, and worked in close cooperation with other team members to facilitate smooth, efficient operations during the shift.

As a Target Tech Consultant, it was my responsibility to replenish stock on the shelves, put recently delivered items within a specified time frame, and maintain the look and cleanliness of the electronics area in order. I would assist guests regularly by responding to their inquiries, recommending products compatible with their needs, and expertly helping on different items of technology. I worked closely with staff members from various departments to facilitate efficient store operations. Being a part of the team also meant running the cash register, being aware of possible scams, and keeping the tech area secure, tidy, and customer-centered.

At RealTruck, a truck bed cover business, I worked in an environment of high speed production where I had to multitask. Some days, I built boxes for the bed cover lids; other days, I utilized a liquid foam gun to make expanding foam inserts for the covers. I also oftentimes sealed finished boxes and placed them with pallets for shipping. This work required consistent, even rhythm, accuracy in detail, and a willingness to alternate back and forth with quick ease as shifting requirements in the production context necessitated.
