Working History
Company: Chapman Holmes Catering & Events Management Ltd, Eccles
Job Title: Kitchen Porter
Dates: From: June 2011To: May 2012
Job Description
Responsible for ensuring the kitchen area is kept clean, tidy and hygienic for the chefs to work in.
Aside from the general work described above, my duties also including assisting with basic food
preparation and helping out with the pot wash team during busy times.

3. Key Achievements
My first experience of work, being in a small independent company enabled me to gain a level of
confidence in so far as I was able to interact and communicate with more senior members of the
team. The variety of work also gave me insight into the operational requirements of running a
successful catering business.
Company: The Marriott Group, The Marriott Hotel and Country Club, Worsley
Job Title: Kitchen Porter
Dates: From: June 2012To: Present
Job Description
Responsible for ensuring the kitchen area is kept clean, tidy and hygienic for the chefs to work in.
Aside from the general work described above, my duties also including assisting with basic food
preparation and helping out with the pot wash team during busy times.
Key Achievements
Due to my previous experience in the same role, I was confident that I could offer my new
employers a level of service which justified their decision to employ me. The work is much more
intense than I had previously experienced and the kitchen brigade is much larger than previous.
This intensity and being a member of a lager overall team makes the roll much more demanding
and I feel I have managed to establish myself as a trusted and capable person who is keen to learn
new tasks and to expose myself to new challenges within this demanding environment.
In recognition of my work, my immediate manager has asked if I had considered a career within the
catering industry with training provided by the Marriott Group.
