Restaurant - Opportunity (Seattle)

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am not the best and am not the worst. I have had SOME experience as a cocktail waitress, server, hostess... more... I am trainable to do anything and enthusiastic about overworking. I am mellow and easy to work around but have worked in demanding environments.

I'm seeking a restaurant job and have to resume studying certification materials for IT so that I can LIVE :). I'm getting old.

I'm only looking for PT.

Plz call I'd like to work!

Robin
