Employer Type: Other Organization (United States)

For over 17 years, I've worked as a server at an Asian-American restaurant. In addition to handling regular duties waiting, cashiering and answering the phone, I was regularly called upon to assist in other parts of the business, because of my ability to speak five languages--including Vietnamese, Cambodian and Mandarin Chinese--as well as my experience dealing with a variety of cultures and personalities (both my restaurant's staff and clientele were quite diverse socioeconomically). For instance, not only was I often the only person who could resolve misunderstandings between my coworkers and our customers about the content and price of what they ordered, I also had to facilitate communication among my coworkers as well as between them and management, since they all spoke different dialects and were from different backgrounds. .. I believe that I always have the "big picture" in mind when it comes to doing my work--dealing with the public, completing

multiple tasks and/or working under pressure and within strict time constraints-- to do what I can to help the entire operation.

Our country would be promoting health prevention and it would be easy to teach people the best way to balance their diet. If they already had health problems, their would be an easy system for them to follow their diet plans. Our food here would already be lower in sodium, fat, sugar and all of it wouldnt contain soy and corn products; and it would be mostly organic!
