Certified Substitute
Kelly Services
While working for Kelly Services I have accepted two long term substitute positions. I was required to
create and implement lesson plans in place of the regular classroom teacher. During one placement I
was also required to create an IEP and a BIP for two different students. I have also worked one on one
with a couple of students due to behavioral issues. All of this has given me priceless experience
including:

Hostess/Server/Grill Operator
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store
Hostess Responsibilities: Maintaining flow of guests into the restaurant, supervising co-workers,
monitoring overall guest satisfaction.
Server Responsibilities: Providing personalized hospitality in customer service, utilizing interpersonal
skills, working as a team, organizing various tasks and performing duties under pressure.
Grill Operator Responsibilities: Organizing group tasks and encouraging group member involvement,
accept changes easily, and rising to new challenges.
These responsibilities have allowed me to develop skills that I now utilize in the classroom. They have
pushed me to become more organized and to recognize the importance of asking for help when it is
needed. This means realizing that my way is not always best and adapting my plan when there is a
better course of action. These skills are important when working in a classroom.
