A Career in the Catering World



Copyright (c) 2010 Ianson Internet Marketing

If you have ever considered a career in the Catering World then becoming a qualified Chef may be an exciting and rewarding career choice.

Being a Chef is a way of life and an art form. You do need certain qualities to be successful, such as, a sensitive palate, creativity, good organisation skills, determination and the ability to be able to delegate.

Being a Chef is not always glamourous as kitchens are noisy, hot, steamy, hectic, pressurised and very stressful at times. You will also have to work unsociable hours including weekends and evenings and will need to show true commitment in order to progress within a good restaurant.

You can start by completing a GCSE in catering at school then go to college to complete the NVQ Level 2 and 3 qualifications. There are several degrees available at university covering professional culinary arts and management skills in catering.

After completion of the above, you can then think about a placement in a bar, restaurant, hotel or other type of kitchen. You will generally start as a Commis Chef, spending time in all areas of the kitchen under supervision. Once you are fairly confident, you can progress to Chef de Partie and take responsibilty for one particular area of the kitchen, such as, pastries, grill, desserts or sauces.

After some experience in this role, you may be promoted to Sous Chef, a more senior role and finally to Head Chef, where you are in complete charge of the kitchen, staff, quality of food and are responsible for providing a great service.

Many restaurants fail due to poor management and poor quality of kitchen staff. You may have seen Gordon Ramsey in his series "Kitchen Nightmares". It is not unusual for a restaurant to close within a year of opening due to poor quality of staff, lack of ambiance, quality of decor, but most importantly, poor food and service. Everyone wants their dining experience to be a good one. If the food is excellent, then you are more likely to return and recommend it to others.

If being a Chef is not for you but you like the idea of a buzzing restaurant atmosphere, you could consider waitressing, front of house or bar tender. Again, they can all be stressful Jobs as when things go wrong, you are the first point of contact. However, it can be financially rewarding if you do a good Job and offer great service to your customers.

There are many Internet Job sites and Job boards offering Job opportunities in the Catering World.
