Listen
It is vital that you listen to the experienced chefs around you and your head chef because what they say goes. Their knowledge, guidance and commands are the things that will determine if you succeed as a chef or not and if you don’t listen to their exact instructions you will ultimately fail.
To learn you have to listen.
Ask Questions
Chefs would prefer if you keep asking questions when you are a beginner, because it shows that you are willing to learn and develop and that you are keen to do well in your new environment.
At the end of the day, asking questions gets answers and those answers will ultimately help you understand your workplace, your customers and your fellow colleagues.
Be Confident
Confidence is admired in catering, so get involved in making dishes and cooking as soon as you possibly can because you not only show your boss that you are willing to dive straight in, it’s the best way to learn the menu and how your head chef wants meals cooked and prepared.
