Karve Week 4- My New Job

In the past couple of weeks, I started working at Moravian Hall Square as part of the Waitstaff. I applied in late January after talking to my parents about my plans for the summer and wanting to be able to pay for them myself. I chose to apply to Moravian Hall Square because I have a couple of friends that work there who have said good things. As I told more people that I was applying, I only heard good things about the place. I also thought that it would be a perfect fit for me because I enjoy looking after others and also want to be a waitress in college. After I submitted my application, I had a quick phone interview, which, coincidentally, ended up being on the same day as my mock interview for Junior Seminar. After that, I was scheduled for orientation and training, which I was very excited for. However, that was put to a halt when I was informed that I was exposed to COVID-19 and had to quarantine. Once I was finally free, I went in for my first day of training (2 weeks later than all of the new hires). I got a tour of the building, which is huge, and I still get lost, filled out paperwork, and then spent 2 hours straight on a company computer completing digital training. This training consisted of clicking through a powerpoint and then taking quizzes. Luckily, someone let me leave a little early. On my first real day of work, I learned how to roll silverware, take orders, get drinks and sides, and clean tables. Tonight, I have my fifth shift, and I'm really excited but still a little nervous. My biggest challenge is learning all of the resident's names, which are used on the order slips, but I'm slowly learning, and all of my coworkers are super helpful.
