as a result of working as a volunteer, it had greatly increased a lot of my social skills and how i engage with others as well as during my work. i worked with younger and youth ages, therefore my skills in multi-tasking and organization improved. i had many good as well as bad incounters with this job which had me putting skills to the test in order to prove myself. i had to also be encounter with parents and their questions about how the kids were doing and if there were problems we needed to know about between the children or about them. id say this was a perfect experience for me to do, and as a result i gained many useful skills that will later on help me in the work environment.

I supported my Grandma's Business by offering to help with her cleaning service. I would accompany her to all her clients houses around Vancouver. I dedicated my time into cleaning windows, bathrooms, flooring, kitchen surfaces and more. Id work about 2-3 hours per each house, some days we would do only one or two and i worked with her 3 times a week for 3 weeks. The skills i acquired while working here were; time efficient, detail oriented, multi tasking, prioritizing cleanliness and organization.

I worked amongst others in the kitchen, taking all safety and hygiene protocol. I helped prepare the food as well as make the pastries. This was a school grade event, so i helped catering the food. This experience allowed me to work on my; communication skills, fast pace working and multi tasking.
