SUMMARY
I worked my way thru school as a fine dining server and graduated in December 2012. After that I ended up working in the service industry for another year, decided to then take a vacation, and now am ready to start my career.

BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
Sales Associate Perry’s Steakhouse and Grill Dallas, Texas February 2013 – April 2014
Perry’s steakhouse is base out of Houston Texas and has 14 locations. The price point is $90 per person on average and does a lot of corporate business. With strict company policies, long hours, and not much support staff you were required to provide fine dining service at a high volume level. During my tenure here I learned how to think quickly on my feet and overcome multiple problems simultaneously. I also witnessed a much larger spectrum of corporate events and meetings.
Sales Associate Stephan Pyles Dallas, Texas March 2012 – December 2012
Stephan Pyles is world renowned Chef Stephan Pyle’s flagship restaurant. Having a location in downtown Dallas the majority of customers were corporate and frequently conducted business during their stay. I was privileged to learn before the fact on the proper way to carry oneself when attending these business meetings. Not having worry about which fork to use, which no one cares about anyway, keeps the confidence high and focus forward at the client and the deal. (During the following gap I was a student)
