BARTENDER
Summary

I am very hard-working with an outgoing personality, it is very easy for me to get along with coworkers. It is also very easy for me to talk with customers being in the service industry since i have been able to work. I feel i can complete any task that is handed to me and i work very hard to make sure that everything is done correctly. I have been handling money the entire time i have had a job, so taking payments and balancing/closing out registers comes very easy to me also.
