As the first face customers see when they enter our establishment, it is important for me to make them feel welcome and special. At the same time, I must attempt to seat our guests in a way that is beneficial not only to them, but to the wait staff and the establishment as well. Needless to say, this requires a bit of diplomatic skill from time to time. When necessary, I can assume the responsibilities of other positions as well.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I>1998-1999</I></FONT>       </div> <div>  <B>Manager of </B><I><B>Article II </B></I><B>, Birmingham, Michigan</B></div> <div> As manager of this boutique style men's clothing store, my responsibilities included customer service, employee relations & store merchandising. I worked closely with the owner of Article II and was able to learn quite a bit from his experience and knowledge. I was very sorry to see the store close in 1999.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I>1997</I></FONT>                  </div> <div> <I><B>Marmel </B></I><B>, Farmington, Michigan</B></div> <div> Marmel is a unique gift store that specializes in items that can be personalized. They have in-house artists who draw or paint different pictures and names of the customer's choice onto their gift. I worked for Marmel as an artist during their seasonal holiday rush in 1997.  The head artist is one of the most talented women I have ever had the good fortune to learn from, thus the time spent under her direction, although brief, proved to be quite fruitful. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I>1996 - 1998</I></FONT>     </div> <div> <B> </B><I><B>"Our Little Car Wash"</B></I><B>, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan</B></div> <div> A high end car detailing service, my partner and I acquired Our Little Car Wash from its previous owner when he relocated. Services included picking up the vehicles, treating them to a complete interior and exterior cleaning by hand, applying a layer of protective wax to the painted surfaces, treating the windows to prevent fogginess and aid in sheeting and then returning the vehicle to the client. We not only owned and ran the company, we did most of the work as well. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I>1995</I>          </div> <div> <B>Editor of Saint Mary's College Newspaper</B></div> <div> An exciting, frustrating, rewarding experience.

My partner and I started the company after I returned from Boston, and ran it for two or three summers. In addition to what I learned about running a business, I learned a great deal more about landscaping than I had known before. My partner was very knowledgeable, and willing to share what he knew with me, which proved invaluable. It was both a fun and, in many ways, a profitable experience.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I>1995  </I></div> <div> <B>Hillel Day School of Metropolitan Detroit</B></div> <div> I worked in an after school program at Hillel that was designed for children who could not go directly home after school. Rather than simply send them to the gym with a babysitter, elective style classes were developed. I taught an art class in which we completed several different projects, including making calendars, art smocks and fun things out of "Sculpey". It was a wonderfully rewarding experience and we all had a great time!</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I>1994 </I></FONT>          <B> </B></div> <div> <I><B>Annabel and Co.</B></I><B> Catering, Southfield, Michigan</B></div> <div> 248.354.6155<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>     </B></FONT></div> <div> As one of their first 'employees', I got a <I>taste of everything</I> (highly recommended!) from prep work to dish work, from tray set up to party set up. Not only was this a fabulous learning experience, both in food service and small business growth, we had a wonderful time in the process. I had a boss who was very knowledgeable, an excellent chef and a great "people person", all to my benefit - she was also a wonderful teacher!</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <U>Skills</U></div> <div> <B>1)</B></div> <div> I enjoy the process of organizing as much as being organized.
