  McDonald's

  May 2011 - Dec 2017

  I started working at McDonald's when I was 15. McDonald's helps young employees learn important life skills such as time-management, problem-solving, communication, and so much more.As both a Team-Leader and Manager at McDonald's, I trained new crew on kitchen, front counter, and drive-thru, counted tills, recorded sales, and gained leadership skills that no teenager can get anywhere else. I'm thankful for the time I spent working at McDonald's in high school and university.
