Kona Ice Truck

I would transport the shaved ice truck all around West San Jose, hosting events at parties, schools, businesses, sports events and city planned events. Serving anywhere from 10-300+ people often by myself. Making use of time management and organization skills to deal with money and payments and timing of the events. Fast Pace work, having to shave ice, load the machine with ice, add flavor and serve to many people at once, often impatient children, so patience was a great skill I used and worked on for this job. My responsibility is to drive the truck, stock, prepare, clean, handle cash, truck display, serve events, communicate with customers. This is a nice change of pace bc you travel to different locations instead of seeing the same place and faces.

I enjoy the work and I work alone 95% of the time. Management is fair, generous and accommodating. Best place I've worked. Was offered manager position after 3-4 months of employment.
My boss tries to give me the hours I want and is understanding of family life/schedules. I definitely recommend.
