So Im 53 Bartender of Detroit Metro Airport my whole life pretty much since 1985, yes that's very old to some,, But I was taught very well from co-workers ,, always picked up new jobs in the Restaurant when someone needed help,, i started with Marriott in 85 washing dishes, called a Utility back then, one year later room service for 2 years, learned my drinks and Bartender here I come for the rest of my Career,, I left out of the Airport in 2012 for a few years did other jobs and had a gap where i didnt work for almost a year, yes can be very depressing,, So i did have a job Bartending for Midfield concessions back inside the airport from June 2018 to November 2018, I left because every mistake you made on micros you had to pay for it, Right unfair labor law act,, So no unemployment, really put the crush on me, Holidays as Im typing Im looking at about 1.48$ on my desk, wont get me to far, so i see they were in need of utilities for some of the restaurants in the airport. So Im not to proud, the restaurant bizz to me you always work together as a team. and i start at 12.00 an hour not to bad, union house, So I do a walk in get a interview for utility, The HR Lady which ill call her Kelly , says Donnie why with your skills do you want to be a Utility, I say I don,t mind starting out and moving my way up, We had one of the best conversations I had in a long time blended in with the interview. I go tomorrow to finalize my job as a Manager for two units out in the Detroit Metro Airport,,I walked in with thinking Im going to possibly get hired as a utility,, left out with possibly becoming a Manager tomorrow. This story dont have a very strong point to it,, what Im trying to say is Im 53 was Hired as A Manager ,, My knowledge and skills over the years have paid off,,It was A Good Day Today,, I found myself sinking into a Depression,, and yesterday and today ,I pray I finalize the Management position ,And we sat there and talked for over an hour,, never nervous Presented myself with good judgement and was truthful,, I believe when I asked I dont have an answer can this be on my list of reconstructing myself. Of course She says,, Im taking 5 courses online for about 75.00 very soon , Management refresher course, Alcohol Awareness , TIPS and TAMS certification,, and Food Handling,, I truly believe if I tried to lie about anything she would of seen right through me and I wouldnt be telling my story of how I may have this Management Job. I ask for Your Prayers,, and wish You all the best,, Im not 100 percent in yet but my foot is in the door. I have alot of friends in the Airport that I can connect people with who have some knowledge in Food and Beverage ,, Airlines is a training course but one Hell of a career,, Fly around the World,, I hope my story didnt bore the heck out of you,, My point is not about age, or what you dont know, its how hard your willing to work at something to make it happen for you,, Thank You for Your Time,,
