- During my two years with Indigo, I developed wide set of abilities that distinguished me as a valued asset to the organization.
- My standout achievement for the company occurred one night when we were severely understaffed and had a high volume of takeaway and inside sales, all while dealing with a broken technological system that processes orders.
- This particular night taught me a variety of great lessons in time management, stress tolerance, and people management.
- My time at Indigo helped me develop great customer service abilities as well as good communication skills, particularly during times of high stress and demand.
- Other traits include establishing tolerance and poise in tough situations, such as replying to dissatisfied customers to maintain the company's reputation, all of which will be required to demonstrate under your company and make me a viable prospect.
- As my skills as a waiter improved, I was promoted to barman and in charge of the system, which required me to handle all orders.
