Job overview
- I worked for three years at a vegetarian Western restaurant in Kunming, Yunnan, China. We were a small shop, so my responsibilities covered almost every aspect of the work: making beverages, preparing food, making pizza, washing dishes, cleaning, and handling the cash register. I was able to manage all of these tasks simultaneously. This experience helped me develop strong multitasking skills, allowing me to handle multiple orders at once while maintaining accuracy and efficiency.
