Kitchen Steward

June - August 2019 • East Troy, WI

What I liked

The main thing I liked was working in a kitchen and learning how to cook more efficiently.

What I wish was different

I wish I did not take this job. Management was unorganized, and I was hoping for good organization. I also worked 60-70 hours a week which left me exhausted and with some pain in my joints going into the school year. Also working so much meant that I didn't get to really enjoy living at a camp like I thought I would and I didn't have any time to practice which has made coming back and preparing for my Senior Recital extremely difficult, which is sad because I was hoping to make a lot of progress this summer and be refreshed coming into the year.

Advice

Do not take this job, I still don't know if they ended up paying me enough or not and I'm just too tired to figure it out.

Camp Counselor

June - August 2018 • Woodridge, IL

What I liked

Loved the camaraderie and unique experience of being part of a girl-led, girl-designed program. Truly great experience, especially being able to get exposure of working with a variety of age groups while also being exposed to new concepts and ideas through the girls' imagination and creativity.
