Hey /ck/,
So I'm going for an interview to get into the Hospitality industry for an apprentice chef position. I was just wondering what sort of /ck/ related things would help my chances of securing a job?
In exchange for any help I'll be dumping box Booru recipes.
Thanks guys.

Bring some pocky sticks to hand out. It will show your multicultural flair. Also bow before you sit down.
I'm never late, I never no-call no-show, I like to work, I have knives. That's all they give a fuck about at this point.

Thanks ma. Obviously just common sense stuff. Appreciated. Have fried rice.
Continuing dump nonetheless.
Here's my advice OP.
You know jack-shit about everything.
If you remember that, show up to work on time and have a good attitude, you should be fine.

Don't listen to anons that tell you to inflate your ego - that's for cokehead cooks who are fuckups outside the kitchen who couldn't pass a civil service exam.
Don't ever betray your fellow cooks.
Don't ever steal mise en place.
Don't slam equipment.
Always look - 90% of what you learn will probably be through observation.
Always push your limits.
Cooks love it when other cooks cook for them - make friends with pitchers of iced coffee; )
And remember, always cook with love and care.
P.S. Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. Buy it.
Godspeed anon. It will be glorious miserable hell for a looooooooooooooong time until you can lead a pack of syphilitic panty wastes like your miserable self.

So much of this.
Couldn't agree more.
Don't be afraid to ask silly questions, a chef might give you shit for asking a silly question but he/she will make life hell if you make a stupid mistake. Avoid wastage. Ask Chef to teach you about cost of goods and learn what a plate of food costs the kitchen to produce in both Ingredients and labor. This is the best way I've found as a chef & trainer to teach my staff / students to respect budgets and understand that it isn't OK to be wasteful or lazy.
Stop and get a job doing something that isn't a horrible, mind-numbing grind for a low wage.

I got a good tip, don't ever fucking let me or anyone else hear you call yourself a "Chef" again.
