My job entailed Catering from 100 to 1300 persons, My primary role was Breakfast Chef, Which also included all the Baking, Sweets, Desserts, and Breads, Buffet Breakfast.. Was adaptable to move onto Day Chef where I oversaw the Running of the Kitchen. This was a FIFO role which I stayed there for 2 years and Loved working for ISS at Homeground.. The reason my position ceased was due to Vaccinations being mandated at this site and I chose not to be Vaccinated so my job was terminated...

I also received an email last year asking myself to come back as they had chosen not to Mandate Vaccinations, But by this time my Fencing Business was established so chose not to go back.
