RETAIL SALES ASSOCIATE
Professional Summary

I am currently a student at Quinnipiac University, and I am looking for a job near my apartment to help take care of my bills. I work multiple jobs near home to help save for the school year, and I used to have a waitressing job in Hamden at an Italian pizza place. Unfortunately, they switched their restaurant to counter style, so I am searching for a new option. I have worked in the restaurant business since the beginning, so I understand the responsibilities and techniques you need to have. I work very well with others, but I can also be independent on the job if needed. I am very accurate on customer's orders, and I make sure they are taken care of in every way possible without causing a delay on table turnover. I make sure to do all of my side work and other responsibilities, and I always follow the manager's expectations. I am a very personable person, so waitressing has always been my favorite job. I also enjoy how this job can help me in the future for my career, since I will be socializing with many people everyday.
