1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am a staff member in restaurant. I am a waitress and sometimes I bartend. I make sure the customer is put at the heart of the service with everything that we do. From making sure the food goes out looking like the spec, or serving the perfect drinks, it is a very enjoyable role.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes, I am constantly learning new things about the business and the customers. How to work better with my colleagues. How to be more sociable. It has definitely improved my confidence in my day to day life and I am very grateful for this opportunity to improve myself, be a better version.
