I am looking for a chef job. I feel fully confident in my ability to give customers something special to eat and satisfy their urges for a delicious meal. I stand out from others because of my ability to cook food to the highest standards and ensure it is presented in an attractive way. I have worked for the last seven years as a Chef all around Europe – Poland, Greece, Holland, Belgium and UK, where I have learnt how to cook delicious meals using the finest ingredients. I have worked shifts in restaurants, hotels and pub-s, where I have been involved in cooking breakfast, lunch and dinners. During my time there I have become familiar with working in a busy, fast paced kitchen environment. I have an very good command of the English language and strong communication skills. I consider myself to be a motivated and confident individual whose career has gone from strength to strength. I would be very obliged if you would review my resume and then come back to me if you feel that I could be a suitable candidate for your position. Thanks in advance for taking the time to review my application.
