Summary
For the last year I have been attending
Wintec taking a culinary arts course to become a chef. Whilst I was taking that course I was also working at McDonalds part time to earn money and gain work experience. At the end of last year I got offered an opportunity to work at Palate in their new kitchen. This was a huge opportunity for me. I started in February of this year. Unfortunately I have come to realize that cooking is not the right career path for me, and I am looking for a new opportunity. I love working outside and I am very practical. I am hard working reliable and motivated to do a good job.
