About Alexandra Mcelhannon

I am a recent graduate from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Science in Restaurant, Hotel, and Institutional Management. I have just over two years of "real world" experience under my belt and I have only begun to highlight my strengths and different interests regarding my career.At Texas Tech as a Freshman, we were required to take a "StengthsQuest" assessment. After years of personal development and self realization I have found my "signature themes" to be very true. My top themes are Analytical, Harmony, Restorative, Empathy and Consistency. I make a point to study before making decisions, designing plans or taking action. I am a very rational thinker. I study the mistakes that I have made in order to understand what needs to be done differently in future situations. My harmony side is a bold one. It is habit for me to look for area of agreement in most everything I do. I do not see much being gained from conflict and friction. I steer from confrontation and towards harmony.In middle school I was chosen to be a "peer mediator." There were only a few of us who made up this group of counseling preteens. I believe that my strength of empathy assisted me there. I've always been able to sense emotions of those around me which makes it easy to respond appropriately and at the right time with ALL kinds of people and situations.Consistency relates to balance being a huge factor of my happiness. I favor familiar, predictable, and standardized procedures for doing things. I value having control in my work. I believe that each person in this world owns specific qualities that allow for a puzzle-piece feel in the work place. Every business needs different positions, and different people fill those specific positions dependent on their strengths and likes. I'm really growing to enjoy the research behind the things that make people happy at work AND I'm enjoying the rollercoaster of applying my strengths to what can make a difference in this world.

    I oversee all aspects of running a restaurant in order to provide exceptional service to our guests. As manager, my job is to be there first in the morning and be the last one leaving at night.

I am always empathetic but also cautious of each scenario in front of me.

    Waitstaff
    Via Real Restaurant May 2009 - May 2011
    As a waitress I studied a complex menu and how to sell a dish, I adapted to each customer to better serve them according to the occasion and nature. I quickly learned how to read guests to better know when they would need my attention and when they would rather be left alone. I carried large trays of heavy dishes and sloshy drink orders. I did wine presentations and chef special presentations along with dessert monologues. I bussed tables, set tables, and learned how to multitask all of these skills during a busy night.
