Samantha Brackett

Waitress at I currently work at Red Lobster in Stow, Ohio. I greet guests, suggest new and older products, and provide an amazing and cheerful experience for every guest. I handle harder disputes and make sure to correct any mistakes, including my own, in a respectful and beyond manner. I provide help to other coworkers as needed such as: running food to different tables, taking an extra table when someone else is behind, and providing a fun, safe, and happy experience towards everyone around me while also maintaining a hard-working, stressing work ethic.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I have a huge interest in anything that has to do with being hands-on. I prefer anything that has to do with applicating my knowledge because it helps with learning and providing better understanding of a subject or process. I do not have a specific job that I currently have an interest in as I am still in school, but I am excited for my upcoming internships that will provide me an open mind of what my options are.

  • Plastics Inspector

    During this time, I worked at ESTERLE Mold and Machine. I worked in this factory monitoring over a plastics injecting machine, and made sure resin was being continuously added to the machine. I also took the plastics part out of the machine, checked for quality, and then packaged them. During this time here as well, since I was going into college as an engineering major, I showed an interest in seeing what the other departments were like. I shadowed in the engineering department including: The programmer, the drawer, sales, and a college intern. I also shadowed in the machining department and rotated from watching employees machine from small to huge CNC Machines.
