  McDonald's

  Jun 2016 - Aug 2022

  Role model employee. Support management, welcome new starters and coach coworkers to follow procedure; delivering a gold standard service to the customers. Served customer needs and oversaw the production and cleanliness of McDonald’s restaurants as a floor manager. A member of the health and safety team, I also was responsible for identifying hazard risks and mitigating these, bringing about changes such as the renewal of PPE to clean the grills and oil vats. Worked hard during my first job to learn the inner functioning of McDonalds and its management system. Despite my best efforts, I was not given a manager position at the store, due to availability requirements and future aspirations. As my first proper job, I treasure the lessons learned and memories made.
