My passion for food led me to work part-time in restaurants during my enrollment in college. My primary responsibility as an employee in a restaurant was to ensure excellent food service to the diners. As a sushi chef, I coordinated with a co-working sushi chef to promptly and accurately provide delicious sushi to the diners’ orders. My mid-shift and closing duties included checking and restocking on necessary ingredient for future use. My experience as a server taught me a lot about multitasking and communicating effectively.
