WORK EXPERIENCE

SOMKIT THAI AND SUSHI , DIXON, ILLINOIS

Waitress, Mar 2017 – Present
I started off as a host and was promoted to a server in a very high paced, upscale environment. While
serving, I am responsible for getting and making drinks, taking orders, running my own food, busing my
tables, and providing an excellent dining experience for customers. I still work here on breaks from
school.

TIMBER CREEK COUNTRY CLUB, DIXON, ILLINOIS

Waitress & Event Coordinator, Aug 2015 – Jun 2017
I served in both the upscale dining venue and the casual bar/grill, where I was required to simultaneously
waitress, bus my own tables, and do my own dishes. I singlehandedly waited on tables as large as 30
people on various occasions. After approximately 6 months, I was promoted to Event Coordinator, which
gave me the responsibility of planning large events such as weddings, dining events, and holiday parties -
ensuring that they ran smoothly and all customers left satisfied. I still continued waitressing even after my
promotion.

JOANNA BURGER, DIXON, ILLINOIS

occasionally when on breaks from school.
