Summary
In experiencing the facets of retail, fast-food operations, community outreaches, and working with children, I have learned about the significance of communication on an interpersonal level. Gaining the soft skills of resiliency, adaptability, and patience, I was able to be teachable in hard-pressed situations. Gaining hard skills, I learned the vitality of oral and written communication, operational cleanliness, as well as the POS cashier system.
