I am nearly qualified in cert 3 commercial cookery less then a few weeks this year from finishing and have worked in kitchens for 8 years. I am looking for a opportunity to join a higher level kitchen team and follow and learn from the chef and others.
I am a good listener and can understand most tasks and execute them well. I work great with others and I have a good understanding of cooking methods and equipment. I am extremely interested on new food and operations.
