Ashby Ponds

Since 2013, I have worked as a server at Ashby Ponds, an independent living facility run by Erickson Living. I began as a server in the restaurant, and after two years went to work in the cafeteria.
As a result of this job, I have:

Time In The Restaurant

During my first two years at Ashby Ponds, I worked in the restaurant, which was a fine dining room filled with over sixty tables, ranging from two person tables to those fitting up to eight people. While there, I was able to develop many useful skills:

• Developed professional communication skills between myself and customers.
• Gained leadership skills by taking charge of the restaurant when needed
• Enhanced my management skills in a fast–paced environment
• Gained insight into how professional businesses are run.

Time In The Cafe

In July of 2017, I will have worked in the cafe of Ashby Ponds for approximately two years. Those skills that I have developed within the restaurant have been heightened and strengthened while within the cafe.

While I do not have much experience as a professional within the field that I am pursuing, I feel confident that my skills would benefit me enough that I could succeed in my future career.

If I had to characterize myself, I would say that I am very hard-working, diligent, and always willing to help others without being asked to do so. I admit that I am a perfectionist, wanting to complete my work as best as I possibly can, and thus I am constantly encouraged to work harder to succeed.
