Summary

Throughout my experience working at restaurants, I have picked up a couple of necessary skills that I can use on a daily basis or even at a workplace. Some of the skills I have acquired are being cleaner when it comes to a workstation, bathroom, dishes, etc. Another skill I have acquired is being a fast learner and being more hands-on with the work itself. Another skill that is important is that I have a basic but necessary one, and that is always being a hard worker and reliable, even if it's a bad day.
