WORK EXPERIENCE

Picker/Packer/Shipper

Blount Fine Foods - Fall River, MA - November 2016 to January 2017 I had to read a recipe and gather the ingredients for the cook. I had to retrieve up to 800 pounds of product at a time and bring it back to the kettle. This process would continue on for 10 hours a day. I would also have to help the cook if needed with placing the ingredients into the kettle. I would also go into shipping if needed, or work on a machine where the soup was dispensed. Any job they needed me for I was able to do. Banquet Server/Busser and Wait Staff

Sakkonet Point Club - Little Compton, RI - August 2016 to October 2016 This job entailed setting up an entire classy restaurant on a daily basis, tending the guests to their every need and serving them fine cuisines, wines and spirits. I had to set up tables and I know how to set them in almost every way, I taught others how to fold napkins, set tables and set the room. During my job as a busser I had to bus all tables in a very fast paced environment and make the guests happy while clearing their tables. I would also serve them their food and sometimes take food or drink orders. If I had to on any given night also I would be a Host, I'd greet each family and lead them to the correct table that they called for that we would set to their liking.

Banquet Server/Captain

The Stone House - Little Compton, RI - June 2016 to October 2016 I was a part of every aspect in the banquet and had to understand how to be a waiter, host, captain, banquet set up, table set ups and I was always extremely polite, clean and kept the guests smiling. When I worked weddings which was mostly the occasion, I first was a greeter and lead each family to the reception. Next I brought ordurbs to everybody with others and made sure that everybody that wanted something got it. After that I would become their waiter and take roughly 30 orders at a time in a very fast paced environment. Then I would place the orders and bring out all of them. When they were done I would bus all of my tables and others for the rest of the wedding. Finally when the wedding was finished I would start setting for the next day (tables, napkins, silverware polishing, napkin folding) and clean the entire event up. It was a fast Crew Member/Sandwich Artist

Subway - Tiverton, RI - May 2016 to August 2016

I was trained to greet and serve guests, prepare food, maintain food safety and sanitation standards, and to processes light paperwork. Exceptional customer service was a must. I also learned how to work efficiently with coworkers.

Picker/Packer/Shipper

SID WAINER & SON - New Bedford, MA - March 2016 to May 2016 I learned how to use the electric pallet jack near perfect I also learned how to use a picking system, how to shrink wrap, how to load and unload 18 wheel trucks and how to handle all types of food. The most important part of the job was learning to work on your own, from walking in the door unitl the time you clock out. Learning how to work alone helped me to become the worker I am today. Sales Representative

ACN Inc. - Concord, NC - February 2015 to April 2016 Responsibilities

Each day I was responsible to go door to door in nice neighborhoods to try to switch other people's energy or telecommunications over to my company. I had a website and a license to sell energy in 18 different states around MA that allowed me to switch others energy or phone bills to my company, saving them money and making myself commission. However, it was very hard without an ipad and a nice car to do my job, nobody trusted me because I did not have money and therefor not one person switched, no matter how many doors I knocked on. Because I was paid in commission and no sales were made I have made no money and have been desperately looking for another job, one that pays for the hours you work. I will work harder than anybody to get a paycheck, I am only focused on being a valued employee and if given the opportunity I will prove that it was a great idea to hire me.

Accomplishments

I accomplished learning to respect my peers, co-workers, boss', customers, and everyday people. I learned people skills from knocking on many doors and talking with a variety of people. This allowed me to accomplish learning how hard work is and that all customers, wo workers, and bosses deserve respect. Skills Used

I was able to make my own website, I learned a lot of people skills because I knocked on so many doors. I've learned to be extremely polite and to not get mad if anybody gives me an attitude or is rude, the customer or boss is always right and deserve respect. This helps me a lot in the work field because it helps me be a team leader, work well in groups and I learned to give the respect to my boss and peers that they deserve. I have also stopped arguments between co-workers due to the fact that I can talk to them calm and respectfully. Rack Hauler
