Job Experience
April 2014 – Present
2nd Assistant, McDonald’s

I joined the company in April of 2014 and in 1 year worked my way to shift manager. As a Shift Manager I ensure that everything is under control during my shifts.
My responsibilities include overseeing all operations from greeting customers to the quality and speed of service in my restaurants. Additionally, I am responsible for overseeing that adequate maintenance of equipment is carried out, keeping track of my stores inventory and monitoring the quality of products supplied. On an average day I lead a team of between 15-20 people. I have also been given direct tasks that I am solely responsible for, which are, training and crew rewards. I have to ensure that crew get their initial training when they start and ongoing training to keep them at our high standards. Over a period of a few months I managed to raise our training grade to 90%, the 3rd highest in our region. I have also developed a simple reward system that gives every crew member the chance to earn a paid weekend off once a month.
After 6 months in my role as a shift manager I was promoted to senior manager and then after another 6 months I was promoted once more to 2nd Assistant. With this new role I was given more responsibility as the scheduling manager, with over 100 employee's on the system. As 2nd assistant I am also involved more in the business aspects of the job. These responsibilities include, recruitment, interviewing, profit & loss controls and statements and inventory controls. I also have a large hand in training initiatives and employee reward schemes.
I have discovered this role to be very demanding and stressful at times but I have only enjoyed the challenge and am ways looking to improve myself for my store and my crew.
