I have always adopted a hands-on approach as a chef, regardless of the setting, motivated by my readiness to assist whenever needed and engage actively in kitchen activities. The excitement and fast pace of the culinary field captivated me and led me to pursue this career. Recently, I have observed a rise in the use of the term "hands-on chef" among hiring teams and recruiters. I have seized opportunities for self-improvement in various work settings, considering each placement as a chance to showcase my skills and enthusiasm. Let's explore the importance of being a "hands-on chef." In search of a 'Hands-On Chef' who must handle admin tasks, work like a Commis, but is offered minimal pay while being misled about the true state of your property that requires more than just an international chef. Your entire kitchen needs upgrading and staff training to reignite the passion. Realistically, you risk losing another skilled chef if your team, with over 20 years of experience, fails to embrace growth and new techniques. It's clear, you are expecting miracles in a place that requires much more than that. Attention, Chefs! Stay alert! You have every right to be honest and address issues that are unacceptable in the workplace. Best wishes, everyone! Share your recent industry horror stories in the comments to learn and let 'Recruiters / Hiring Managers, and Leaders take note'. #chefbgh #chef #passion #career #job #hiring #recruiter #leadership

I'm interested in the culinary arts and want to become a chef. 🍽️ 🌮🍰 I am glad there is a high demand for employment in this field!!! 👨🍳👩🍳 Restaurants, hotels, and other food service establishments are actively seeking chefs, making this an ideal time for culinary aficionados like myself. This increase in demand has a major impact on salaries,💰 💰 💰 with salaries reflecting the shortage of individuals with the necessary culinary talents. Looking ahead, the job outlook for chefs is really bright. A anticipated 5% increase from 2022 and 2023 surpasses the average growth rate for all other occupations. 📈 Also here's to the wonderful potential of around 22,000 chef job openings annually over the next decade. Let's appreciate the economic concept of supply and demand in the culinary realm. There is a high demand for a certain skill set, such as culinary skills, but a scarcity of people with those skills. Salaries tend to rise in this way because businesses are willing to pay competitive wages to attract and retain experienced chefs 🤑🤑. #mereditheconomics

Hello fellow culinary members and hoteliers 2 days back I went to a hotel for my food trial Ive already send them my menue for food trial and ingredients for that, but when I reach there they don't have my given ingredients and for the position I went before my food trial the chef told me that they don't the that particular position. But in our conversation before on call they told me that they have the position I'm looking for, and now when I went there after spending my money at the time im jobless they want to take the advantage of my situation and they told me that my cv is not the match so why they call me for trial. They broke my confidence , they told me the give me a junior position if they like my trial , so at that time I leave and didn't perform my trial. I just want to ask from Hr's and ex. Chefs that if u don't have the position so please don't post for the vaccancy, and if you calling someone food trial for CDP position and told him before trial that you only have the position for commis. If you already know that a person who is jobless so don't try to take the advantage of someone's situation. Is really your profession allow you to break someones trust who came for food trial from different state. #cullinary #executivechef #india #hr #chefs #chef

Now that we're a few days away from launch it's probably time to answer the question: Just who is Rocket Jobs built for? Rocket isn't targeting everyone. We building for workers earning 10 to 50 thousand Kenya shillings, and the companies that employ them. That means chefs, waiters, cleaners, salespeople, and many more. Why? Because the workers are many (15 million), the employers are many (just under 1 million businesses) and the jobs are many (more than half a million). But Kenyan workers can go jobless for years, and most of them say, "There are no jobs." We believe these 15 million workers are largely "unconnected". We believe this is not just a supply problem, but a logistical one; A problem of knowledge and access. The mission of Rocket Jobs is to give Kenya's everyday workers the fastest access to Kenya's everyday jobs. Want to know how? Go to waitlist.rocket-jobs.com and sign up to learn more this 29th March. It's time to Rocket 🚀 🚀 Mbugua Otieno Amos Faith Sandra Paul Natalie Rose Collins Robert Jobtech Alliance
Hi Chef! Are you looking for a job? We are looking for you. Finally a platform that meets all your needs is here! Visit waitlist.rocket-jobs.com to get notified on the latest job postings in the market. Let's Rocket!!!

Calling all chefs and hospitality enthusiasts!📣 Lately, I've noticed something troubling happening in the industry, especially in prestigious places across the UK, including London. Many kitchens have lost their head chef and a big chunk of their team. Instead of hiring experienced chefs to keep things running smoothly, they've been opting for less experienced ones, often leaving just one Chef de Partie to manage everything. This makes me wonder: Is this a common issue elsewhere too? Now, don't get me wrong – I'm all for giving new talent a chance. But shouldn't we also value the knowledge that comes with experience? After all, it's the experienced chefs who maintain high standards and strive for top awards. Plus, they can pass down their expertise to the less experienced ones, paving the way for a brighter future in hospitality. So, what's your take on this? Have you seen similar situations in your workplace? Let's chat about finding the right balance between nurturing new talent and holding onto the seasoned pros. The kitchen is the heart of any good establishment, and it's essential to keep it strong and thriving! 💪🍽️ #Hospitality #Chef #ChefLife #FoodIndustry #LetsTalk

Continiously I’m getting call from so many big brand hotels extremely disappointed with recruitment process. Received a call from Executive Chef ,Executive Pastry Chef not convienced .Received call from Executive Pastry Chef , Executive Chef is not convienced .Received call from both of them General Manager is not convienced only to be told they're only considering candidates from big companies and countries. (WHICH IS NOT TRUE because I came from a background worked with biggest companies). Clearly, competence takes a backseat to corporate titles. Shameful and insulting. time to rethink your priorities. Clearly, they didn't bother TO READ my resume. No consideration for experience or qualifications, just a blind preference for candidates from big companies and countries . Sorry, but TALENT DOESN'T COME WITH A CORPORATE LOGO. Unprofessional and disrespectful.
