i am a chef looking for new employment
Any big high class hotel. Have you ever thought about applying on a ship? You work 7 days a week but the pay is great. Senior citizens homes, hospitals. Vacation resorts.
I am writing a paper on the above. I am looking at Canadian Idol (win record deal – job recording artist) Canada’s Next Top Model (win a modelling contract – job is model), Hell’s Kitchen (win own restaurant – job is chef).
What does it say about our society that reality TV is being used to compete for employment?
that it is a competitive society just like before, its just being televised now. Society has always been dog eat dog but now they are just showing it on TV. Just like the hurricanes, there have always been hurricanes but now they are making a big ta da about them because they are on TV no one cares or seems to notice things until its on TV! Anyway thats just my opinion
He isn’t paying me and other employees for all the overtime they work, claiming he will pay people under the table, but then shorting them over half of the money he owes. It’s tough because I want to keep him as a good reference and contact for future employment, how do I approach this issue?
You don’t.
This guy knows how valuable working with him is. If you figure you are more likely just to GET a job after you graduate than you would if you hadn’t gotten an externship with him, work it out money-wise vs. if you hadn’t gotten the externship. For example, straight out of CIA, your average earning potential will be about $30,000 to $40,000 (tops) per year. An externship with him may mean 10,000 more per year. If you only have a 3-month internship at $2000/mo, then you’re ahead $4000 the first year.
Recommendations and good references from this guy are likely to land you a better paying and more prestigious job, in the end. It beats no job at all.
I have a friend who wishes to work in England as a chef. where would he go for help initially ? No time wasters please! Thanks.
he is 38 years old, he can pay his own airfare. He worked in Japan previously.
The best thing to do is to get in contact with the home office to make sure he’d be able to get a visa for the type of job he is after. As far as i know they are discouraging eastern trained individuals (ie doctors and nurses) and trying to recruit from European countries instead with or without train profession.
You could also look at jobs in the newspaper contact the employers and ask them if they would be willing to employ immigrant workers from far east. It cost employers in time and money to go through the motion.
Unfortunately if he lived in a rich country he may get fairer response and won’t think twice about letting him in UK.
The "illegal" immigrant chef I work with tried to rape me one night after closing, and when I told my boss and he spoke to the chef the following day and he denied everything and called me a lier. He said it was just an excuses to not work anymore. Than said I had other problems saying I call out sick (I just got over the flu). What legal actions can I take.
Seek a good lawyer or file an EEOC complaint and they will investigate the charges. If upheld they will give a signed statement o proceed and do so. You have 180 days from the event to file a sexual harassment case.

You need to know how to cook. Also how to use utensils to make fancy food. Also how to use different spices.
I am a Pastry Chef/Baker who wants to open my own bakery in Georgia but realize its going to take a few weeks to months to get totally organized. I presently live in Pennsylvania but moving to Georgia. Does anyone know who might hire me for a temporary position somewhere in the Mid-Georgia Area? Any position will do(cleaning, etc.) Thanks in advance.
Go to www.switchboard.com and look for employment agencies temporary in the city nearest where you will be. Warner Robbins and Macon both have temp work agencies. You may also find that you can get work with a Janitorial service like Service Master and work eves while you build your business days or work short term for a grocery in their bakery or another part of the store. There is a high turnover in groceries in GA so short term work would not be strange.
As in the following text:
Employment opportunities include working in hotels, motels, restaurants, casinos, clubs and cafes, food processing companies, aeroplane catering, staff restaurants and cafeterias, hospitals, food services and catering companies as a cook or as a chef.
Robert S is partially right, I was a sous chef in hotels for over 20+ years and while he has some of it right not all is correct, he speaks of speciality chefs, they are the station chef or chef de parties, as a sous chef, I ran the kitchen for the executive chef, and the difference between a cook and a chef is in some the other answers, cooks are trained but usually only to a limit, were a chefs do a term(s) at a culinary school, has many years of training and rises up in the ranks to become a chef or sous chef, it is hard to start out that way, unless you win the lottery or your family owns the place.
Cooks to the everyday works and most of the harder jobs, a chef will cook, but is in charge of the ordering, personnel, menu planning, and supervising the other sous chefs and chef de parties. Anyone can call themselves a chef, but the proof is in there ability’s and experience and working under pressure to deadline, like in other businesses
im 28, when i was 18 i made a poor decision and let the wrong people in my car, with quite a bit of stolen stuff in there bags. i knew what was in there and made a poor choice. we went out that night, i got into a car accident and wound up getting busted for the stuff in my car. i didnt go to court till i was 19, took a plea deal so i wouldnt have to do time (never arrested again, never did time, nothing violent on my record), and went from there. i proceeded to become a sous chef downtown, as well as for whole foods and worked for a professional football team for 4 years. i recently moved to las vegas and cant find work anywhere. i would really like to get a job at the casino cooking, good pay and benefits, but i dont think i will get hired. im currently looking into the federal bonding program. does anyone have any advice for me to finding a job in las vegas? i dont want to move back east, i dont want to flip burgers at mcdonalds and i will pass a drug test. local input would please
If it was a felony you plead too, don’t count on getting into any casino job.
if it was a misdemeanor that you plead to, make sure to state it on your application as well as when the incident occured. and write down how you have matured,
there are so many restaurants everyday, put in 5 applications, and go swimming. every other day, call back to make sure the manager looked at your application.
good luck
I am interested in looking for employment as a cook, chef, in Antarctica. I know that room and board and a few other things are paid by the employer. What does the worker get?
I was down there as part of a research team, so I have no idea what the ‘pay’ is for chefs. Honestly, for the 3, 4, 5 months that youre down there (assuming youre just doing a summer at MacMurdo), the experience is worth working for free. The room accomodations arent exactly the best, but the food is awesome and it seemed like the work-crew relationships were tight. Unlike with us ‘beakers.’
Good luck. If you make it down, take advantage of everything you can do. Take survival training and get off base on a hike, try and stop in over at Scott Base, etc. I was fortunate enough to be on a deep field team and got helo’d out to a lot of neat spots like the Valleys, Drygalski, Terra Nova Station, etc.
