You are likely good at keeping your cool even in stressful situations and have the ability to step up if needed. Through good communication and teamwork, you contribute to a great atmosphere at work where we get things done. You need to be proficient in Swedish, both spoken and written, as you will often read and write instructions regarding menus, recipes, self-control, and special diets.
