Download or read book Top 40 Chef Questions and Answers written by Hooria Hassan and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are You Looking for a job as a Commis Chef, Sous Chef, Head Chef or Executive Chef? Regardless of Your Career Level; These Carefully Compiled and Drafted Questions and Answers Will Help You Impress Most Recruiters!To be a chef can turn into a mission impossible unless you have a guide who has seen it all.Today, there are thousands of chef jobs in the Middle East and other parts of the world, and this book will be a perfect guide for those who want to apply for those jobs.What This Book ExploresThe book touches upon just about everything that is related to a chef's career. While the idea is to help the readers know the challenges of adopting this career, there is constant icing of tips and tricks to keep the readers from falling into disbelief. It does not matter how difficult things sound, you can pick a chef career just like thousands of others have. The book will also clear your confusions about this career. There are several myths associated with chefs and how you can become one. At the same time, a lot of the information you read under the heading of "how to be a chef" might not always be true. You will also read about the salaries of chefs around the world e.g. salaries for chef jobs in the US, salaries for chef jobs in the UK. Of course, salary is the most important topic no matter which career you talk about. It will not be wrong to say that the salary is "the" most important topic when you are discussing chefs. There is no fixed salary for a chef, that you will know as soon as you start reading the sections about the compensation of the chefs. You will also discover the salaries of the chefs in different parts of the world, which helps you greatly if you are looking for a career outside your country. There should be no doubt in your mind that the US and Europe are the best places for chefs. However, you should also know that chefs are not the highest-paid individuals in any of these countries. Again, you do not have to let this small piece of information disappoint you. As you read the book, you will find out about the regions that are the best places for anyone who wants to be a chef. The best part of being a chef is that you are among the handsomely paid individuals in the country. What's the Best Part of the Book?The best part of the book is the clarification on many of the things that you might not know if you are only starting with your chef career. For example, you only know of the term "chef". Most of the people are only aware of this term. They all want to be "chefs", without realizing that there is an entire hierarchy that they will have to cover before becoming "the chef". To pick a chef career, one must know these things. Rather than picking articles and blog posts about particular chef jobs, it would be best for the readers to get their hands on this book that gives them a 360-degree view of this career. What about the Interview Questions?Of course, that's the core of the book and the reason why you should be getting your hands on it. With limited chef jobs in the US, one has to be ace the interview to get that appointment letter in hand. Even the slightest mistakes in the interview can cause the candidate to throw away the opportunity. The best thing is that Chef Hooria has provided you with the accurate and apt answers to the questions as well. The readers are going to love the fact that there are a total of 40 questions, not 10 or 20. In these 40 questions, they will discover just about any question and its variation that could be asked by the interviewer. The answers have been given in plain language and they are quite descriptive. The most important thing is that the answers explain to the readers what a question from the interviewer means and the best way to answer it. Anyone who has only thought of being a chef will find this book to be a gem.
