started at cafeteria buffet type doing stir fry, sushi and other meals to order, I had to see my menu for the day
and prep enough for my shift. From that station I got moved to pizza station and since I had experience from
Carino's it was fun and easier for me making 3 types of pizza after pizza and I had good compliments I was
creating new dishes and changing the menu to make my inventions and it worked. I was asked by my general
manager if I would like to get moved to a Café called (Slice of Life) at the Student Union and I accepted. Later
I was told I was going to be in charge of the Café and that I would have to see according to pictures on menu
what I had to order for merchandise. I did and also was told to train my other 2 employees to make and cut
according to my knowledge, so I did I had to send them to break and be cashier and take orders course one
employee didn't speak english . I had to place orders of what I needed and then do inventory . On some days

Cook
Carinos Italian Grill - McAllen, TX - July 2009 to September 2011
Responsibilities
Started off as salads and appetizers. I putt my mind to hurry and did multiple prep tasks at the same time to
finish my work neatly and in time. Time passed and I got better at it so I said it was time to move up to pasta
and sauté, so I was trained and again set my mind up and learned all recipes in mind. Once again achieved
it managers asked me to try for prep/dish and of course said yes, again achieved it and later in time became
trainer and did janitorial work like cleaning walls, painting and degreasing back dock organizing storage and
merchandise, fixing some equipment doing tape and floating,painting in and out restaurant, redoing grout in
some areas at bar and were work was needed.
Accomplishments
I think I impacted my self and other employee because wen I was off and a cook didn't show up and I was
called for help I never said no never even if I was out with family. After my shift on my way home if I was called
that someone wasn't showing up I would go back and work all night, or after my shift I would ask manager if
the dishwasher needed help I could stay to help or to do janitorial work,what ever I could do extra was good
many of my coworkers would say go home,you still here, you live here or what and that somehow motivated
me to work harder.
