1. WORK EXPERIENCE JANINA GAITAN
AARUM CAFE 15.02.08
I worked Whitcoulls Book Store as my first work experience for nearly a year, then moved on to Ballentynes
Fashion centre, working with fashion clothes, I learnt about clothes and how to dress models. I even went to a
fashion parade there. At the end of last year I got a job in Aarum Cafe at Palmers Garden Centre, doing the
sterilizing. I really love my job there, I work on weekends and get full pay for it. My
workmates are wonderful and very helpful if I have any problems.
All the dishes require rinsing
before they go into the sterilizer.
Most items are safe to put in, but
some types of plastic cannot
because of the heat, they will
buckle
Some really big items also don’t go
in because they will not fit. These I
wash by hand in very hot water
The sterilizer has an alarm that
goes off when it is safe to open
and get the dishes out. I am very
careful and I can get hot during
the day because of the steam. I
don’t mind that. I love the job I
do
