yeah like I wouldn't, really.

I don't have the tools at home, and I like SPAM! :nuts


no, I wouldn't say that though :s

I'd say a huge salad and a better-than-sex warm brownie ala mode :o

man i'm so depressed right now. I was a victim of miscommunication and I had my hopes up for a month just to end up embarrassed.

I was called by this hotel about a training program of a supervisor position and I was so excited about it. Besides what had I got to lose, they were going to train me and I was a fresh graduate? When I went for my final interview with the executive chef, apparently he wasn't looking for anybody to train, he was already looking for someone who's had YEARS AND YEARS of experience!

I could have defended myself that I was misinformed by the Hiring department but words were stuck in my throat! I was so embarrassed I almost cried and focused all my energy into not crying! :wtf He was looking at me like, "look here, you're in over your head" or "what made you think you'd be qualified, hello?"

It was excruciatingly painful~! I could say a lot of things but I didn't because of the goddamn tears that were ready to fall that if I move a muscle by trying to talk they'd fall!

[/RANT]

And so I'm back to being a bum. -_-

Why not go for an apprenticeship and just rise through the ranks? I mean, sure it is slower than applying for a supervisory position, but at least you're able to hone your technique and gain street cred along the way. I myself intend on taking up an apprenticeship after I graduate since school+internship really isn't enough to prepare you for the line. One of my chefs once told me "it takes 10 years to make a good chef"... I can't even count the year and a half I spent as a commis/prep cook in those 10 years since it's supposedly 10 years in the line zzz...

Don't worry BB, in about a year and a half, I too will be unemployed.

After the interview I walked by Jollibee, turned back and bought myself a 2pc burger steak, a yum, and spaghetti.

After which I went to starbux, got myself a coffee jelly frap, and a belgian waffle with whipped cream and strawberry topping.

tapos naubos na pera ko haha.

See, the funny thing was, I never applied for that position. I was called in as a pastry temp, and I turned them down because I didn't like pastry. And the HR Director probably reviewed my application so she called me for another interview for this training program, of which I accepted. wouldn't you?

Apparently there was a miscommunication between the chef and the HR about what they each wanted for staff. during the time I was interviewed by the HR, the chef was in Italy for vacation and he probably didn't wanna talk about work. By the time I was interviewed by the chef, I checked in to see if the HR director was there but she had the day off.



Honestly I didn't even care if I was a temp or not, but they did call me for this position and I gladly accepted.

what's the deal? you going for your dream instead?

I would have taken it... the only difference is that I'm an asshole, so I might have mouthed off.

Unemployed because it's the stage you go through while looking for work... Or I might apply for a job at my school. As much as I'd love to make it big as a musician, the music scene is a whole lot crappier than the kitchen scene when it comes to pay and job security... not that being a cook (yes cook, chef is reserved for the boss...) is a consolation or anything.

I wouldn't work anywhere in school but the kitchen tbh. It's the only department that makes sense to me.

wtf, I cried in an interview yesterday. It was so unfuckingbelievable I didn't even know what happened. I just cried there and Mr. President was seriously disgusted.

Maa, whatever. It was probably my hormones' doing, since it was *that* time of the month. Sigh.

Like, what else can I do but not think about the stupidity that ensued? Life must go on. -_-

Sims fail... It's the video game for the non-gamers.

You might want to do costing first... Wouldn't want to apply the "sari-sari store theory" with regards to markup.

Are these your first job interviews, BB? Or just a particularly bad streak?

bad streak. I've had job interviews before, before I started culinary school.

so unbelievable really.

Paperboy, I'll do costing when recipes are done, I'll leave the market research to my sister.

wow like, as if I'm really doing this.

@hunt, whatever. Sims is <3.
