Summary
As someone who started working relatively younger than I was supposed to, I have learned many things from the five jobs that I have worked over the years. I've gotten better with my social skills, work ethic, and time management around any workplace. Each job that I worked at was different, but all of them pushed me to learn how to be more positive and professional, no matter what obstacle was placed. The Cheesecake Factory has been by far the most challenging job that I have worked at because there isn't a time when the place isn't fast-paced, but it's nothing but another stepping stool in my life.
