  Tim Hortons

  Sept 2011 - May 2012

  Shift Manager

  Tim Hortons was my first experience with management and leadership. My beginning position as an associate, I provided excellent customer service preparing drinks and food for customers. During my time at Tim Hortons, I learned quickly. The feedback that I received during my transition and management position helped me become a better employee. While opening a new store with the owners, I learned the process of building a business from the ground up. My responsibilities grew as I received training in banking, scheduling, inventory and placing orders. Show less
