Miri's Victorian Tea Rooms

• Supervisor

  • Aug 2014 - Jun 2015

  This Tea Room was situated in Mount Jerome cemetery so the majority of clientele were mourners. This meant that behaviour with the customers was not the standard, upbeat kind but considerate and calm instead. This was not an issue for me as I am very good with all kinds of people. I had general supervisor duties as well as barista duties. I was a trusted keyholder and dealt with cash handling as well as using tills.Health and safety procedures were followed daily.

  • Apr 2011 - Oct 2013

  Preparing in-flight meals for various airlines. This was a summer Job, from around April till October each year. In my first year I was mainly preparing Economy meals. My second year there had me in the cutlery section, which sounds like an odd area but each airline has specific requirements as to how they would like their cutlery presented. The 3rd year had me preparing meals for the Business Class of our various airlines.Each position had very specific outlines for presentations and all care had to be taken while distributing the foods as we had weight requirements to follow as well.Throughout my time there I also got to occasionally jump into the Tray Setting section.I found this whole experience very interesting as I love seeing and being involved in the 'behind the scenes' of projects. This was my first job and I am very grateful for how the very strict health and safety procedures have been implemented and are forever in the back of my mind. This allows me to notice any possible issues that may occur in other workplaces and avoid any accidents.
