Today was my assessment day! I was extremely nervous! I don't really know why because if you "fail" they just train you for a few more days and then reassess you. It was really weird because everyone I talked to said that they had like 3 weeks of training - I had 1 week! I had 1 week to learn everything and remember it all. I was told that a manager would take my assessment and I had never met him before - so that added to my nervousness! It was all rather intimidating. I had to pretend that he was a guest and I had to greet him, check him in and then seat him at the table of his choosing - so I was seriously worried that I wasn't going to remember the seating chart! But anyways everything went okay-not perfect but and there was definitely some room to improve on (but let's face it, I had only been there a week!)
BUUUUTT....
I PASSED - YAAY!
So I am now a fully fledged Cast Member and I don't have to wear my 'earning my ears' flag anymore (even though I left it on for the duration of this shift...shhhh!)
I started work at 3:30pm and didn't finish until midnight - so that was a fairly long day! But it was definitely a good day! Everyone congratulated me on passing my assessment and I was happy to finally have it out of the way! I had been told that he would ask questions about the menu and the wine so I memorised the menu items and I knew a bit about the wine - I specifically talk about a South Australian wine that costs about $1200 to buy (he was rather impressed about that considering I am Australian.
But yeah I came home and fell into bed after my rather stressful evening!
