Summary

I am currently starting my second year studying Sport and Exercise Science at Edinburgh Napier University. I have worked at the Courtyard by Marriott Inverness for over four years, gaining valuable experience in both front-of-house and kitchen roles and developing strong teamwork, communication, and time-management skills. I am currently looking for a casual contract of around 2 shifts per week to help cover my living expenses alongside my studies.

Work History

Kitchen Porter

Courtyard by Marriott
Inverness, United Kingdom
09.2023 - Current
  • I first started as a kitchen porter when I helped the head chef as they were short-staffed. After completing a couple of shifts, I ended up transitioning fully from front of house into the kitchen. Over the last couple of years, I have built up my skills, become much faster and more efficient in a busy kitchen environment, and gained experience working under pressure during peak service times. My responsibilities included maintaining high standards of cleanliness, washing dishes and kitchen equipment, and supporting chefs wherever needed.

  • When I first started working for the Courtyard, I worked front of house, mainly covering breakfast shifts with the occasional evening shift when needed. My responsibilities included seating guests, refilling the breakfast buffet, taking food and drink orders, serving customers, and ensuring guests had a positive experience.
