I know I am probably way out of my league here but I thought I'd get some opinions first.
Basically I have been a lifeguard for 5 years and I desperately want to leave that job. I am a 20 year old college student majoring in biology here in Northern California. I enjoy cooking and my dad is a professional chef but I have no real experience. Besides getting a job as a waiter or busboy, I know I'd much rather do something in the kitchen. I'm sure that this isn't possible but is there some low position that I could possible do? I'd much rather work at a chain like Applebees or Chilis or something; and I would think that I would have a better shot at getting a job there. I hear the phrase line cook as being the base of everything so should I try and apply or am I just wasting my time seeing how I have no experience. Just looking for some advice, my parents are out of the country right now, and I need to look for a job this weekend. Hey we all started somewhere, I'm just hoping that I can too.
