Job Decision? |
Well, i have been working at Red Lobster as a host for about 3 months. I went looking for a server job elsewhere, and i applied at Bob Evans, and this very expensive exclusive restaurant called "Its a matter of taste". I got offered a host job at a matter of taste, and a server job at Bob Evans. I dont really know what to do because both jobs want me to work the same hours on the same days. I dont want to pass up the job at Its a matter of taste. Just having my foot in the door there, feels like it could be great potential, but at the same time they want me to gain server experience so i can become a server there, so i dont want to turn down the server job at bob evans. I'm not sure what i should do? Im pretty sure im leaving red lobster, but if i cant take both jobs. which should i take? A job that could eventually turn into a great job, or a job that would offer me server experience, and more cash now? If I were you I would take the job at "It's a matter at taste." Work there, get the feel for things, and then get a side serving job that doesn't coincide with your host position, so you can do both. If you can prove to them you know your stuff, plus get experience elsewhere they may just promote you to a server. Learn the menu, watch the servers, and do as much as you can whenever you can. A lot of restaurants like to promote from within, I think if you work hard at it you can get them to make you a sever. Follow your heart. well maybe you can try this website below. I started my online business only recently and it gives me a decent income for a newcomer like me. Moreover, she is a local and so far help me a lot. If you have any query, feel free to ask me. This program will not guarantee you will be making money within 10 min or half hour but it definitely will make money in the long run. We are talking business here and not some GET-RICH-QUICK program. For me, I get my first sale of $33.90 just straight after one day. http://www.simplyrich-sg.com/ste... Once you have your foot in the door don't loose it you can start at the one you want Matter of Taste and work your way up... You can also politely tell Bob Evans that at this time I have a commitment and will re-apply at a later date... but as far as cash flow Bob Evans is the one... you can also ask for different hours or days... to work around the schedule you want the best but some places do not want you working for the competition... And not only that the decision is entirely up to you... Good luck Determine what your long terms goals are within the next 9-12 months. Do you want to host or serve? If it is both and you see yourself serving in an exclusive dining facility then you should start that career path. If you choose a server position you will have a reduced wage and will rely on tips. You should ask your employer how the tip pool works and how long you will be in training. You will rely on the fact that you are a good server to customers who eventually determine your pay. If you choose this route, serve well, smile often and check your table regularly. Good luck in making your choice for you future success. You can do it! JL Thing is if you take the job at the high end place you will still be a hostess therfore not making very much. If you are good hostess they might not be so quick to make you a server later. Plus a high end place requires knowledge of wine, liquor and food. They usually don't have a training program per se because you are just supposed to know it. And they like to have people older and more seasoned as the servers have to deal with people spending a lot. It could work out but I'm thinking you should wait on working there. So Bob Evans would be the best choice as you will learn to serve and have more money. But Bob Evans is a breakfast place...... so you will find the best money is in the morning and on the weekends. Though it would be OK at night and you still will get money. A Chili's, Applebees or something like that would be better experience and definitly more money. Depending on you situation have you considered serving at Red Lobster? Maybe the manager would let you do both rather than have to cover all of your host shifts if you left. |
