Had the skills and knowledge to do the job. Strives to continuously improve skills in current job and through cross-training.
(insert real name here)
The skills and knowledge to do the job? I think I've got both, sorta.
Can I carry two glasses in one hand? Yes. At least three plates of food at a time? Yes. In the year I've worked at (insert real name here) I can only remember dropping plates twice -- once by accident and once, maybe (totally), on purpose when no one was looking. It helps if you exclaim something like "Oh shit!" or "Oops!" afterwards to avert suspicion (I assumed, based on the one time I may have done that).
The knowledge? Do I know every single ingredient that goes into each menu item? Of course I don't. But I know enough to get by and I'm quick enough on my feet that I can lie if need be.
Strives to continuously improve skills in current job?
The other night I carried six lemonades --SIX! -- to a table sans tray without dropping a single glass. I didn't know how to put them down and had to come up with a solution a la Adam West Batman:
If that's not continuously improving my skills I don't know what is.
As for working towards improving my skills through cross-training, sometimes I get to make drinks in the bar. It looks a little something like this:
Eat your heart out Tom Cruise!
My rating? Exceeds expectations, obviously.
