The A-Team Application

We all need to laugh at our­selves now and again. My ex-girlfriend found this let­ter on her com­puter. It is a let­ter explain­ing why I think I’m “wor­thy” to go into man­age­ment train­ing at McDonald’s. I didn’t edit any­thing so you can see how hor­ren­dous it is! It’s impor­tant to note that I loved work­ing there, but it’s a lit­tle embar­rass­ing to think that I was plan­ning my future around it.

I am hon­ored to be con­sid­ered for the posi­tion of an A-Team mem­ber. Now is a time of reflec­tion on what the title, but more impor­tantly, the resposi­bil­ity that will bring to my work as an employee at McDonald’s.

I believe, in my own con­vic­tion, of my unusual tal­ent of being an employee at McDonald’s. I feel I per­son­ify what is expected and what is received of an employee. I show up to work every­day (except one day — Back Pain from Wreck) and ful­fill all that is asked of me dur­ing my shift. I also can per­form every task that is asked of crew employ­ees. I can work in drive-thru (Cashier, Order Taker, Drink Drawer, Run­ner, Pre­sen­ter, also — Break­fast Stock), front counter (Order Taker, Run­ner, Stocker, French Fries/Hash Browns), Grill (Breakfast/Lunch Table, Breakfast/Lunch — Meat/Eggs, Burrito/Muffins, also can do Set-up, table set-up, stock­ing freezer/Table), Lobby (Clean­ing, Trash, Play­land), I have done unload­ing truck, open front counter, and cook for open, closed one time, and I can clean the shake machine.

There are var­i­ous other items that make me suit­able for A-Team. I have proven resposi­ble with bank deposits and other tasks that make me leave the restraunt on the clock, I clean the restraunt (trash, break­ing down boxes, clean­ing stock room/freezer/walk-in, Pre-Close, etc…) with­out being told, I also feel what­ever job is asked of me I acknowl­edge the job and com­plete it as fast as pos­si­ble. I also believe an A-Team mem­ber has to be good with cus­tomers, and I feel that I can get cus­tomers to respond to me very eas­ily and with con­tent on what­ever I do for them. Along with that thought, I also feel I get along well with my fel­low employ­ees and help them when­ever I can.

Along with all these var­i­ous jobs that I can do, some do need work before I feel I can advance beyond A-Team. I need to train at least a few in dif­fer­ent areas as a crew trainer before tak­ing on the A-Team title/resposibility, other than that I feel I am ready for the respon­si­bilty of A-Team. To advance on past A-Team I need to be more afflu­ent with the indi­vid­ual jobs and new skills that I have yet to attain.

In reflec­tion, an A-Team mem­ber must be knowl­edge­able, fast, cour­te­ous, at work and on time. I feel I exem­plify those qual­i­ties along with the abil­ity of spe­cial­iz­ing in two areas of the restraunt (front counter, grill). Thank you man­age­ment for the oppor­tu­nity of not only the pro­mo­tion but for allow­ing me to be employed at your restraunt. I look for­ward to a suc­cess­ful future at McDonald’s but specif­i­cally the Tipp City McDonald’s.
