How should I write on my resume that I took a few cooking classes and have kitchen safety knowledge?

Friday, June 25th, 2010

This is my resume for a resturant busboy or prep-chef.

With the consideration that the main headers of my resume are:
Objective
Skills
Work Experience
Education
Hobbies

How should I put that I took some cooking classes in high school (home ec/foods). I was mainly thinking of putting those classes under skills with a small explination, or in education. How should I say it to be most appealing for a potential employer?

Just as a layperson, I would think that perhaps putting the names of the classes that you’d taken in high school as well as learning about kitchen safety and preventing food borne illness under the "education" section would be a good idea since you did take the courses while in high school. For the objective, it may be more on the simple side such as "Seeking a position as a restaurant busboy or preparatory-chef." Please don’t take this the wrong way, but please do remember to use spell check (restaurant, explanation :)

One doesn’t necessarily need to list hobbies on a resume. It may ask on the job application though. And it’s best to type at the bottom of the resume that ‘References Available Upon Request’ as opposed to providing them on the resume. Please also never put salary requirements on a resume albeit one shouldn’t typically name them on a job application either and instead say that ‘salary is negotiable’ as to not overbid or underbid. Please remember to always send a cover letter with a resume as it can briefly elaborate on the resume and allow the applicant to be more ‘relateable’.

You are probably already aware, but please remember to Not wear jeans, sneakers, a jeans jacket, short top, open toe shoes or slather on cologne :)

New poem, back to my usual style, please read and comment!?

Friday, June 25th, 2010

A torn, ragged, old leather coat,
wrinkled and creased, my first love note.
A picture of my brother, his last before the war,
and the number of a lover, whose messages I ignore.
One shot glass, from my first rum and coke,
and an empty lighter, from my first smoke.
An obituary from the paper, about a man that I don’t know,
and photographs of places, that I didn’t go.
A ‘staff’ t-shirt, from my very first job,
from my first new house, a bronze door knob.
My poetry filled notebook,
a dry noodle-I never DID learn to cook.
A wedding ring, from my second divorce,
(a ‘seperation’ shortly took course).
A tire from a bike, that I never rode,
a bent house key, not from MY abode.
A screw from the treehouse, my dad and I made,
the first ever paycheck, that I was paid.
And hanging on a necklace, a Heinekin beer cap,
from my first trip to New York, a rumpled map.
Years ago it went missing, a key from my laptop,
And a bracelet made with wire, wrapped around a pop top.
last couplet didn’t fit:
These memories, come hard and fast,
my first shallow breath, and my last.

pretty cool
but i don’t like to comment on peoples poetry its ur own a poet can write something that others would never understnad becuase it comes from the heart…

What are the best culinary schools in new york to go to that is cheap/good/affordable?

Friday, June 25th, 2010

I’m thinking of going to one next year that doesn’t require too high of GPA, or too much experience in any kitchen.

You’re smart to be searching for a more affordable education path! The county vo-tech school or community college should be a lot more affordable than those private $$ for-profit tech schools (such as the ‘art institute’). For accredited programs in culinary arts: http://www.acfchefs.org and can look under ‘schools’ or such.

For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search ‘chefs, cooks, and food preparation workers’ or such.

This site has posts about the ‘art institute’ and others private for-profit schools: http://www.ripoffreport.com and can search.

Buffalo: You’ll Eat It Up!

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Food lovers rejoice, because while we are justifiably proud of our chicken wings, there is so much more to the Buffalo culinary scene than hot sauce and blue cheese dressing. Start with enormous ethnic diversity, add in a profusion of local farms and orchards and a microclimate in nearby Niagara County that is ideal for fruit and grape growing and what do you get? You get great restaurants, delicious local specialties, wine trails, farmers markets, gourmet food shops, cooking classes, and more. Join host Nelson Starr on a quick tour of Buffalo’s culinary wonderland.
