As I've stated in my fist "intro post", I'm 25, a recent graduate w/ a BA in Lit. and now have decided to go into cooking instead of following my degree path.
Culinary school is the obvious choice but being that its already September 20th, I'm a little late on deadlines and don't expect to apply till next fall
I have about 7 to 8 years experience in a Deli/kitchen doing minimal cooking and mostly prep work. I'm wondering if that would be considered experience as I'm applying for work in kitchens in the Philadelphia region. What positions are good to look into? I was thinking line-cooks, but am I not qualified?
I realize that a lot of the questions I'm asking are subjective questions, but I'm wondering if I'm a little in over my head. I'm in the process of writing out my resume and I figured I'd send it around to interesting restaurants, and whatever strikes me online (via monster.com/philly job search), but is there a better way to go about this?
- thanks for the help.
