  Tropical Smoothie Cafe

  May 2016 - Feb 2019

  Restaurant Worker

  My first job that I stayed at for almost three years even when I simultaneously held other jobs. Where I first developed customer services skills and first exposure to a fast paced environment that the slightest errors could be catastrophic in pleasing customers and ensuring timely delivery of food. I prepared food and smoothies quickly and accurately to always strive for 100% customer satisfaction and avoid delaying service.

  Publix Super Markets

  Jan 2017 - Dec 2017

  Sales Cashier

  Customer interaction was 95% of the job, only taking a break to straighten shelves if there was not one person in sight. I managed not only being friendly and checking out customers but also helping the elderly if they needed help loading groceries. I helped those who did not speak English well and diffused the situation if a customer became highly irritable for reasons such as high prices or dissatisfaction with products.

  Marco's Pizza (Marco's Franchising, LLC)

  Nov 2017 - May 2018

  Shift Manager

  I was a shift lead directing up to three drivers and three other people in the crew to ensure timely pizza delivery as well as being able to estimate who will be where and assess everyone's strength to be able to keep up with demand during peak hours. Every night I had to count inventory and determine how many more specific items we needed to order based on that week's sale trend or upcoming events like football games. Every night I counted the money to deposit and documented sales made while also calculating the tip for drivers. Show less
