Big Moments:

  1. The community Assistant work study program has given me many good professional experiences. It helped with public speaking, drafting official documents, leadership roles, disciplinary procedure, etc. I was given the opportunity to show what I can do, and the supervisor recognized my independence, creativity, and attention to detail. This led to a promotion and the creation of a new supervisor position where I was given the freedom to create something beneficial to the community.
  2. Working at Longhorn Steakhouse has given me a surprising amount of opportunities to learn more about my professional self. Starting as a host, I had to learn how the resturant flows with hundreds of customers a day. I had to learn to balance keeping the kitchen and the guest happy, and they each have polarized needs. Because Im good under pressure and don’t get upset easily, the management recognized my usefullness and quickly promoted me to ToGo. After learning the menu and how the kitchen operates, I was promoted even quicker to server. Here I am able to shine, dealing with the customers and kitchen staff at the same time. This with the opportunity to work as hard as I want to make more and more money is good motivation to continue my employment there.
