How to get a cool job
How I did it: I just tried to act confident, like I knew what the hell I was doing, when in reality, I don't. I'm a hard worker, and I know I'm a hard worker, I just had to convince the owner of the restaurant of that. She's giving me a shot cooking in her restaurant even though I don't have much cooking experience, which I really appreciate. So I'm working hard at making a good impression. I need to memorize the menu as quickly as possible so I can use less energy trying to remember what goes in what, and make my focus getting all the orders right. It's gonna get busy and hectic for sure.
So how'd I get the job?
Be confident. Be presentable. Have your resume with references on it. Apply early, as soon as the job add goes up. Be friendly. Make eye contact. Be honest about your experience level. Be punctual. Think that's about it. Good luck!
This is not the last cool job I'm going to get. I've wanted to be a cook in a cool restaurant for a while, just checking it off the list. Next up, published author/documentarian.
Cheers!
