  I have worked as a food server for this catering company for many years now who focus in catering for weddings, and is the job where I realised that I wanted to be an event manager/organiser. I have carried out a range of jobs while working for this business including food serving, beverage serving (both behind a bar and in formal gatherings such as weddings), basic food preparation in the kitchen in numerous weddings as well as working alongside my bosses to help configure table layouts and ensuring all dietary requirements have been met/guests are happy with their food. Having worked for this business for several years, my confidence has risen a great deal as I am able to take on more responsibility and emmerse myself in my work to experience each wedding as an event organiser.

  • Apr 2018 - Sep 2019

  I worked as an ice cream server for my first 4 months of working for this business due to it being a small family-run business in an ice cream hut in the summer season. During my time there, it developed into a large dairy/restaurant where we not only sold ice cream, but food and beverages. In this new development of the business, I became a barista for the 9 months I worked until I left for university. This was mainly on the weekends, however in the summer between finishing A-levels and university, I became a full-time worker and focused predominantly on being a barista yet was also a food server the entire time I worked for them. Being a food server, I had to learn basic knowledge of food prepartion including making pizzas, baking various cakes in the kitchen as well as helping to prepare a vast range of food on both the breakfast and lunchtime menus. Also while working as a barista, this gave me another year of experience with hot beverages, improving my confidence behind the coffee machines. Throughout my whole time working for this family-run company, I handled money and worked on tills, again increasing my confidence.

  Was a waitress as well as barista. In the 12 months I worked there, I gained extensive knowledge about using a coffee machine as well as continuously improving my confidence when working in a hospitality business. As well as this, I also gained experience in organsing childrens' birthday parties with a variety of special requests as well as parties of different sizes and children with different abilities - having to cater to all requirements. This helped me gain knowledge in how to organise events as well as health and safety risks.
