IDK if anyone remembers but i posted a few weeks ago about getting my first big boy cooking job as a sou chef/ manager. It's like industrial big scale cooking...kind of. Anyway, I was interviewed last week by a literal panel of people. It was fucking insane, the most intense interview process I have ever had. They want me BUT, the next phase. Which i was totally unaware of, I have to cook a 4 meal course in front of another panel of people. Any words of advice?
>>22077451Can you achieve an erect penis? If so, it doesn't matter what size it is, just play with it until you have a happy little accident
>>22077451i advise you to cook a decent meal
>>22077451>IDK if anyone remembersi do.>I have to cook a 4 meal course in front of another panel of people. Any words of advice?wash your hands often.
>>22077459YES! luckily i think one of the interviewers like me and he was like..."wash your hands, even before putting on new gloves"I'm not nervous about cooking, im more freaked out by being unaware of my surroundings and everyone watching my every little move and being hyper critical about it. I need to score some adderall
>>22077462You should drink like 3-4 drinks before you have to cook to take the edge off.
>>22077451You got this anon, I believe in you. Just remember you’ve been cooking for a long time, and that experience doesn’t just go away. This is something you know how to do, so trust yourself and do your thing.
>>22077462also its timed. i dont know what to think like..i imagine itll be a app dish, maybe a salad. two proteins and a wild card. Ive never been into baking or sweet dishes. If so im completely fucked.
Pretend to cut one of your fingers off as a joke
>>22077469lol or just blow my fucking brains out while everyones watching, that would be a funny prank
>>2207746717 years, ive said this time and time again to myself. I dont know why but i turn into a neurotic mess sometimes, especially with my life and future on the line. This job is life changing so it freaks me out. I just have to use the skills ive aquired to, just do it. Properly. Idk man im still nervous at the end of the day but i think i can do it. I just hope i dont ..make some dumb mistake that that completely eliminates me right off the bat.
>>22077471>This is Chef Anon's "The Mess"
>>22077475Just pretend the four people you're cooking for are naked. You could even make a little joke while you're cooking about how nervous you are that you're imagining them naked. That would be a good way to break the ice and relax yourself
>>22077451Do you choose the courses or do they? If they do will they tell you before or when you’re there on the day?Congrats on making it to the next phase! I hope everything works out well for you
>>22077485So, if I remember correctly they will give you a heads up on the 4 meals. Probably just the day or hours before. I don't get to choose as far as I know. I should text the main guy to ask him about that. He seemed like the chillest out of them all so for some reason I feel like that wouldnt be crossing a line, or like he wouldn't mind if i did. thanks brother.
Have an invoice made up for your services when you go. Personal chef 4 course meal for a group should be a nice profit. $200 per person easy.
>>22077496lol dude, thts fucking nuts, never thought of that. i think this would be a good final ice breaker like..once everything is said and done, get accepted, then hand them the bill. I actually might do that. but in a joking manor
>>22077506hand them the bill even if you don't get accepted you pussy bitch
>>22077468>>22077475Don’t stress out anon. Remember the interviewers aren’t looking for stressed anon. They’re looking for the anon who’s been cooking for 17 years. The anon who’s impressed them so far. The anon who knows food safety protocol and is ServSafe certified (if I remember right). The anon who knows how to cook a 4 meal course and can rise to the challenge.Trust the anon who made it all the way here. The same anon who will get the job done.
I told you, bitch, see them as potential colleagues or adversaries. If they want you as an adversely then so be it.
>>22077506>I actually might do that. but in a joking manorI’m sure it’d be good for a laugh but definitely wait until you’ve worked there for a little while, just in case anyone is weird and easily offended
I have never worked food service.
