I am an Athlete who has been working in the food industry throughout school and I'm looking for my opportunity to expand my choices in a career. I have lots of training with cooking and a lot more time of real cooking. I've worked in casual spot to fine dinning and have worked every position almost at each job. At my first job I worked cashier for 8 months where i would greet, take orders and conversate with the customers before they left. I am a very fast learner and I have no problems moving up positions and helping out my other co workers with their jobs when needed. social skills
