I work about 20 hours per week in a local restaurant. The tasks are to maintain the restaurant to be cleaned, ensure the foods are fresh and provide good service to customers. Plus, I need to arrange the work shifts for other employees.<\/p>\n

Basic Finnish language skill, problem-solving skill and customer services are important skills to manage my work.<\/p>\n

Even though I am working in a field which is not my own field, I learn a lot of skills that are beneficial for me in the future. I strengthen my problem-solving skills and management skills. I also learn to be patient.<\/p>\n
