I have been enjoyed most of my job expereinces so far, but if I have to choose the worst one among them, my worst job experience was working as a server at the Japanese restaurant. Last year, I decided to get that part time job because I wanted more money for my parents’ wedding anniversary present. Here are three main reasons I did not enjoy my job as a restaurant server.

1. Poor working condition
   I was working from 2pm to 7pm after class. However, the owner and other workers never allow me to take a meal break. More than that, as a server, seating on something was prohibited to me so I had to stand up and wait for customers even though when there were no customers in the restaurant.
2. Long work hours
   My working schedule assigned by the owner was unreasonable. I had to work five days in a week including Saturday and Sunday while taking 5 courses as a student in University. Especially on weekend, I worked from 12:30pm to 7pm without any break.

3. Bad communication
   I constantly asked owner that I want to work less, but he never fixed the schedule for me. After few months, I decided to quit the job because I was so stressed out. I submitted my three weeks’ notice to him, but he refused to take it because he thought I was doing well. He even threated me by telling if I quit my job, then he will increase other worker’s working hours instead of hiring new people. There were many other people wanted to work there, but the owner said them that he is not currently hiring.

In order to test the various features of the UBC blog, I will summarize the results of my Personality Assessment Exercise. Due to this being my first time writing a blog post in English, I am slightly hesitant posting my first entry. Please kindly excuse any grammatical errors that I may make. I will try to improve my future posts by frequently visiting the Writing Centre.he results of my personality assessment exercises.

The results of my personality assessment exercise are as follows.

1. Machiavellian Test Result:  26/50
   Average American’s score: 25
2. Self-Monitor Test Result: 32/65
   High self-monitors are defined as those with scores of 53 or higher.
3. EI (Emotional Intelligence) Test Result: 73/100
   A score below 70 indicates very low EI.
4. Narcissism Test Result: 6/40
   Average American’s score: 15.5

To summarize my results, I noticed that I had got relatively average scores for Machiavellian and Emotional Intelligence tests and low scores for Self-Monitor and Narcissism test.

On my Machiavellian test result, I was surprised that I got 26 out of 50 because I expected much lower scores. I dislike any form of lies (except some white lies) and I try my best to not tell them. However, I do agree with the low score on the Narcissism test because I usually do not think about myself as much as I think of others.

As a group member, I define myself as a follower and a supporter because I love to help other people while preparing information rather than speaking or presenting in front of a large group of people. Moreover, I am confident in my ability to speak honestly about any problems to my project partners. I sternly believe that these are attributes that can help strive towards success in group work.
