Chef Trial Shifts – 12 Steps To Winning Big

As a chef recruiter, I always appreciate when a restaurant offers chef trial shifts to candidates of mine. A chef can showcase their skills while using the event as an opportunity to determine if the restaurant/hotel/caterer is a good fit for them and their career goals. It’s also, equally, an opportunity for a client to “check out the goods” and help them determine if the chef is a good fit for their business and to see how they fit in. Either way the workflow towards chef jobs these days is increasingly likely to encompases trial shifts.

Why exactly do catering recruitment agencies keep sending me the same curriculum vitae’s, why do I always end up with the usual suspects? Okay, so that is how I am phrasing a statement made to me by a head chef recently, it’s not verbatim but it’s close enough. In fact it was said in a backhanded complimentary way; as an explanation for why this chef was seeking my help with the suggestion embedded that we were likely to be, somehow, a cut above these slovenly under performers. But, as the song goes “it ain’t necessarily so.” Sometimes “how” you use catering recruitment agencies is as important, if not more important, than “which” agency you use.

However as we’re aware of a lot of interest among chefs, on how to best optimize their CVs for success in the very competitive catering jobs market of today, we decided to publish and be damned.
