"I only worked for Applebees for a few months due to the fact that I recently graduated from college and am now seeking a career. I maintained great relationships with my coworkers as well as managers and always found a way to complete my task at hand. Although I was only there for a short period of time I was able to enhance my customer service abilities greatly and became a more effective communicator."
