Get a job at a restaurant to build your skills and resume. While it would be awesome to start out as a chef, it takes time to work your way up the career ladder. Start with a low-level restaurant job that will help you learn the skills you need. Apply for any restaurant jobs that you see advertised locally.
- Your first restaurant job probably won’t be prestigious, but everyone starts at the bottom. You’ll likely work as a line cook. This will help you learn the skills you need to move up the career ladder and eventually become a chef.
