I have a interview to be a line cook. I'm nourvous because it's a high-end place and I've never cooked in the kitchen before but I'm confident because I love to cook in general and very passionate for it. Wish me luck.

@@mikasashinganshina6288 any tips bro? I have mine in 2 days

[@mikasashinganshina6288]

@@dreign8089 I deadass don’t have any tips tho my dad just told me act like I’m not gonna get the job (like he did & he did get the job btw) so I won’t be disappointed and go with the flow and say everything with confidence but I wind up not getting to be in the kitchen position, cuz they made me hostess instead I also want to say just kinda prep for some of the questions they most likely will ask and answer how you normally would without pausing and stuttering and you should be fine and be nice and enthusiastic to whoever is interviewing you that’s how I got the job just cause my interviewer said she likely my personality, Also good luck on your interview sorry for the late reply

[@oumarogers7757]

Hi. Do the E.Escoffier see the book "the art of modern cookery?" Do I stand to have a chance to work with great pole at your place?

Roll a joint in front of the Chef and light it for him/her to smoke during the interview in order to display motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

[@MadelaineHenao]

Do chefs have a portfolio?

[@vinnyproductions5506]

Not really, your prior jobs and positions are the closest thing to a portfolio.

[@akashmultani3099]

@@vinnyproductions5506 fair enough but would I be wrong to say that the newer generation of chefs keep blogs, digital diaries and pictures of their dishes?

[@VegaH_]

Akash Multani no, specially if you getting catering gigs. Helps the client see the vision

[@hzlkelly]

@@VegaH_ yeah

[@chrisshiherlis95]

100% chefs have Culinary Portfolios. Internships, certificates, stages, photos, (instagram) and many other specific techniques, development (menu and financial) etc.

I can't see you over all that embroidering.
