At a farmers market vendor, I set up the stall, arranging produce or products to look appealing. I greet customers, answer their questions, and handle sales transactions. I also restock items as needed and make sure the display stays neat and organized. Throughout the day, I engage with customers, providing friendly service, and at the end, I help pack everything up.

During my two-week holiday job as a barista, I prepared coffee and various beverages, mastering the espresso machine and ensuring each drink matched the customer's preferences. I took orders, handled payments, and kept my work area clean and organized. I also restocked supplies, occasionally helped with food preparation, and always provided friendly customer service. Additionally, I assisted with opening and closing tasks, like setting up the café in the morning or cleaning up at the end of the day.

As a waitress in a German inn for events like weddings or large birthdays, I work in a fast-paced and demanding environment. I manage large groups and efficiently serve multi-course meals, relying on strong teamwork and clear communication with the kitchen staff. Handling various guest requests and maintaining a friendly, professional demeanour are crucial. The job required significant physical endurance due to long hours, constant walking, and carrying trays. Despite the challenges, it's rewarding to contribute to making these special occasions memorable and enjoyable for the guests.
