Food Service Specialist First Cook resume example

When I entered this company a mass majority was away on a Peace Mission to Haiti. I worked as part of a team to ensure that all supplies and food were distributed properly. As part of my training I learned how to maintain and coordinate executive and senior management vacation, day-to-day meeting and travel schedules. I also collaborated with other administrative team members, human resources and the finance department on special leaves and passes to ensure that everything went smoothly. I held weekly meetings to ensure and provided ongoing tracking to division-wide Soldiers and for annual government audits. I took necessary steps to meet customer needs and effectively resolve food or service issues. Recorded customer orders and repeated them back in a clear, understandable manner. Correctly received orders, processed payments and responded appropriately to guest concerns.

Upon entering this Company in November of 2004 it was in its redeployment phase. I was tasked to be trained as a Human Resource Specialist because the company was short staffed. I assisted in making sure all data was correct and properly inputed into a wide range of spread sheets. I also crafted excel documents with serial numbers of over $25 million worth of equipment. When it was time to input leave forms and pay issues into the system, I personally assured it made its way to the correct destination. I handled all travel expenses and reimbursement requests. I served as Executive Assistant to the Commander, 1st Sergeant and Operations NCOIC all of which are the highest ranking in a company setting. I created PowerPoint presentations for weekly company meetings with Section Leaders and Command Staff. During our Deployment in April 2008-July 2009, I was reintroduced to my initial field as a Food Service Specialist. I then became one of the Lead Cooks. In holding this position it was my responsibility to assist management with monthly inventory control and weekly stock ordering. Take initiative to find extra tasks when scheduled duties were completed. Maintain a neat, well groomed appearance including impeccable personal hygiene, hair restraint and minimal jewelry that met company standards. I communicated clearly and positively with co-workers and management to maintain a healthy and vibrant work environment. I almost always resolved guest complaints promptly and professionally.
