“It is good to get the views from both sides before one proceeds to look for job interviews and I believe that nowadays, most of the interviewers are young folks, straight out of college who have little or no idea about the industry in which they’re employed. It’s all about the “book” to them and to me, it makes me want to puke, I think that each department needs to do its own hiring and that one never puts a 21-year old kid in charge of interviewing a 50-year veteran of the foodservice industry. If I had my way, only those most experienced would be in positions of power and the kids would have to work their way up the ladder—private or corporate—in order to attain the uppermost levels of management and managerial responsibility. I climbed up through the ranks and for many years was the YOUNGEST member of every crew in which I was employed until I became the OLDEST, most senior member. To have some punk who watches the Food Network 24/7 and then thinks he or she understands the modern kitchen is an insult to a veteran’s intelligence. Thanks as always, Chef Brian Carrick, ACF Member, and WSCA, worked in California, Hawaii, and Washington State and briefly in Arizona. I commenced my career in the late 1960s as a busboy at age 12 and apprenticed to become a chef at age 17 in 1973. I’ve been in the industry for more than 40 years with another 10-15 to go.
