Ned Fischer

I have extensive experience in event-based work and thriving in high-pressure environments. I am highly skilled in managing and operating a donut and ice-cream shop independently during moderately busy days. This includes producing dough, preparing and cooking donuts, adding fillings, serving soft-serve ice cream, all while delivering excellent customer service and adhering to food safety standards for cleaning, preparation, and presentation.

My experience includes:

• Operating at the Queen Victoria Summer Night Market, where our stall attracted long lines stretching across the venue.

• Working at the Melbourne Royal Show, effectively handling high volumes of customers.

• Maintaining a consistent work history over three years with shifts often exceeding five hours.

I quickly adapt to new skills and environments, and I have taken on management responsibilities from a young age. At just 16, I was trusted to oversee entire stores, ensuring stock levels, product quality, and a safe, clean environment were upheld.

I continue to work in this field not only as a job but as a passion, and I am excited to bring my skills, enthusiasm, and dedication to your team.

Bus Boy – Seddon’s Most Popular Local Pub

Gained valuable experience in customer service and maintaining a clean, organized environment in a fast-paced, high-capacity setting.

Key highlights include:

• Adapted to a busy, dynamic environment during peak hours, including max-capacity events.

• Developed strong relationships with coworkers, fostering a supportive and efficient team dynamic.

• Gained exposure to high-pressure service environments, enhancing my ability to multitask and remain calm under pressure.

Left the role due to age restrictions (16-17 at the time), which limited responsibilities to clearing tables, resulting in downtime.

Kitchen Hand – First Job

Gained valuable experience working in a fast-paced kitchen environment, primarily managing fryers during constant rush periods.

Key takeaways:

• Developed strong time-management and multitasking skills under pressure.

• Built a foundation of kitchen operations that provided opportunities for future growth.

While the role offered valuable experience, the lack of personal connections at the time made the work less enjoyable than anticipated at 15.
