Let’s decipher some ways to stand out in the crowd to show your culinary brilliance and grab the attention of employers.

• Your video introduction 

For a personal touch, record a video of you introducing yourself. This can help you let the employer know about the way you talk, your personality and something regarding how you developed your interest as a chef. 

• Showcase your soft skills

Employers want to see your underlying skills – your ability to lead a team, work under pressure, manage crises, solve problems and deliver an outstanding customer experience altogether play a huge role in your success. These are difficult to be penned down on paper! Tips: You can verbally explain how you handled stressful situations from your past work experience. Mention your teamwork moments and at times be transparent in talking about them. These real-life stories are more powerful than any buzzword. 

• Participate in a culinary competition

Employers like to see professionals who push themselves into challenging situations. You can show your ambition, creativity & resilience by participating in culinary competitions – local food festivals, online recipe challenges or food photography contests. These experiences not only expand your skills but also enhance your ability to handle high-pressure environments.
