I'm moving to the South Walton area, February 1st, and I'd like to have a full-time job lined up before. Right now, I'm @ $12 (w/ tips) and can't afford too much less. I'm in Pensacola, but I prefer interviewing in person. I work full-time mornings Mon-Fri and w/ the holidays it may be hard to do weekends (and I occasionally help a friend cater during those times).
Here's my resume! [My latte art compabilities growing as I go...]

Opening/ running/ closing the register (and delivering deposits), keeping clean towels and fully supplied on all inventory (which I also get myself), maintaining cleanliness to hospital standard, handy work (fixing doors and fallen eraser boards), keeping temperature logs for all refrigeration.
Creating our shop?s first coffee menu, adding 13 new specialty lattes, milkshakes, ice cream cones, juices and healthy snacks for the surgeon on the go.
Teaching myself latte art to add appeal and pizzazz to my drinks. Starting with sloppy Christmas trees, single-hearts and initials, I?m currently practicing on multi-layer hearts, rosettas and etching.

Researching better tasting and efficient ways to make drinks (i.e. every step to pouring shots, steaming milks, different recipes) and brainstorming techniques with the morning barista. We also made deli-style sandwiches, wraps, salads, gourmet deserts and helped organize and put together our catering orders (i.e. prepping different salad varieties, slicing meats and cheeses via machine).

I learn well and fast, I know how to sell myself and product, I?m punctual and I really love the work I do. I love making people happy with a good coffee. No matter how pour the bean I?m working with, I try to manipulate the taste into something they will enjoy and top it with something that will, at least, make them laugh.
