Head Server resume example with 8+ years of experience
I am an extremely loyal employee and person in general. I take pride in my work and that of the company I work for. I really believe that given the chance I could not only prove to be a productive and positive worker, but I could prove to be very useful and valuable to the company. I am looking for a place to put my roots and establish a base to eventually start a family. Willing to work long and hard to accomplish that goal, just searching for the right place to do just that, I am reliable and focused and always maintaining positive energy whether in my home life or the work place. Always open to new ideas or advice on how to improve production in any aspect of my job because i believe that there is always room for improvement for those of us who allow it. If given this employment opportunity I will work tirelessly to ensure that my employer is not only satisfied, but genuinely happy to have granted me that opportunity.

This was a great company to work for. I loved every second of every shift at Wicked Taco unfortunately it is hard for new restaurants to stay afloat especially in such a competitive town like Blacksburg with all the restaurants and bars vying for the student's and local's business. The company shut the doors in Blacksburg and it was a sad day. I am happy to say though, that I was involved in opening the very first location and implementing a routine and schedule that went on to have much success in the North Carolina branch.
Still slowly attending and passing online classes hoping to graduate in 2021!
