Help becoming a chef?
I'm currently a kitchenhand. But when I move to Australia I wanna become a chef. I just have a few questions.
- Should I do a apprenticeship or courses? What takes longer? What's better?
- If I do the course path. How will I support myself with no income and being only able to work like one day a week? Will I be able to get a job without 1-2 years post qualification experience?
- Apprenticeship. Can I survive on so little money a week? How many hours do apprentices work? Is it easy to get a apprenticeship? What are there main duties? And would I be able to go from kitchenhand to apprentice at my current restaurant and continue in Australia?
- How many hours do chefs usually work? Or how many do you work? Are cafes, bistros and bars easier to work in than Restaurants and Cafes? Is it a good amount of money to survive on?
If anyone could answer some of these questions it would be great! Chef or not.
There seems to be plenty of chef jobs. Because of the high turnover. 377 in Melbourne alone according to seek. I got my kitchenhand job within a day of applying. Yes I do both my mother and sister are chefs. But I'm asking the community of people on here to shed some light on this
