New Aldaya Lifescapes/Dietary Aide
September 2023 - Present, Cedar Falls IA
I worked as a Dietary Aides (Pots & Pans) at New Aldaya Lifescapes. I was scheduled Tuesdays, Thursdays, and every other weekend. I was responsible for cleaning the pots and pans during breakfast and lunch. At this job I learned how to be consistently on time for work due to my shift starting at 7:00am. I also learned how to be time efficient due to the amount of pots and pans I need to clean during a short period of time because I needed to transition between breakfast and lunch. I needed to complete my pots before lunch began so that I wouldn’t fall behind, I also needed to finish my lunch pots on time so that the evening shift person didn’t have any of my leftover pots and pans.
Hardees/Frontliner
June 2021 - July 2023, Clarion IA
I worked as a cashier for two years at the Hardees location in my hometown. I was scheduled from Monday to Saturday from morning to afternoon, except during school, I was only scheduled on Saturday so I can focus on my studies. As a cashier I am capable of communicating effectively with customers and team members. Due to my work schedule, I was often working during lunch rush. It was because of this I became able to adapt to fast paced situations and communicate efficiently with team members so that we can get through the lunch rush. This job taught me how to communicate and adapt to various situations in a work space.
