If you\u2019re beginning your culinary career but have little industry experience, executive chefs and human resource managers will take note of these two items. Earning a ServSafe manager certification will show you are serious about a culinary career and have completed the necessary qualifications even before you have interviewed for a position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Culinary education is now easier to obtain than ever. Gone are the days when serious culinary students would have to go to expensive schools in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Many community colleges, technical schools, and junior colleges offer two-year culinary arts programs. Enrollment in one of these programs will show prospective restaurant managers that you have the drive to grow and become an asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a limited number of jobs out there, our third tip may sound intimidating. Many places won\u2019t take a chance on inexperienced candidates for certain positions, but you may be able to find an entry-level position, such as a prep cook or dishwasher, open in many restaurants. Another tip for getting your foot in the door is to have reasonable expectations for your first industry job. While your ultimate goal may be to work for the fanciest five-star restaurant in the city, unless you have connections, you\u2019ll have to start smaller. We\u2019re not saying to lower your expectations for your entire career, but building a resume takes time and perseverance. Don\u2019t be afraid to work lunch or breakfast or for chain restaurants, and never give up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the rising popularity of culinary reality shows hosted by celebrities and bookstore shelves bulging with the world\u2019s most famous chefs\u2019 latest cookbooks and foodie guides, interest in culinary arts careers has never been higher.
