Blog #11: Holiday Project Update

1) It's important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break on we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?
     
     Of course, working on my senior project is the first favorite thing on my holidays lists. I was spending my time on learning almost everyday of my break except two of Sundays. Even on Tuesday and Wednesday before christmas I still working on my independent component. It's may sound a lot but passion that's take all of that. Most of the winter I spent as a waitress. Some of the day I also helping in the kitchen as well. This experiences really essential for me because I can have a full time experience without getting distract throughout my day. Honesty, I wish my winter break was longer so I can be with something that I fall in love with. I started my day with preparation in the front house and back. Then, serving customers. At the end of the day I cleaning and set up for tomorrow. 

2) What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?

     In my senior topic is mostly you can learn on hands-on experiences which consume a long time. I learned everything from City Thai, the restaurant that I have been mentoring since at the beginning of my  summer in senior year. I have found three significant skills that I will need in order to work in the restaurant. Organization, Concentration, and Collaboration are the most factor that you will need the most in this career. When the restaurant is unexpected crazily busy, I have to organize which one have to finish first what you can do while you doing the most important so I don't have to do it repeatedly. It will save a lot of your time. Concentration is needed during rush hour because it will reduce your error in limited of the time. Always being on task on what you do or even think ahead of time what to do next because the time will not wait for you when it come to professional serving in the restaurant in a busy hours. Lastly, collaboration in the work force is really essential because each one of us have own responsible in certain task. We need to plan out who is being response in what area and when we finish our task completely give others a hand to make our work more efficiency. We cannot let three people do the same work at the same time while there are another task empty. I'm appreciate everyone who is working in the restaurant for giving me this amazingly opportunities 

3) If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answer for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

     I would said the same person as last time not its because so handy to find but he has been experienced in the restaurant industry at least 7 years ago. The owner of City Thai restaurant was facing ups and downs in this kind of business. I still have a lot more to learn from him. I don't want to search for something new when I don't really understand all of knowledge that I have been offered.
