Know in Advance.
Line Cook:
If you enjoy cooking, research your opportunities for advancement at your current job. Weigh any options that may exist versus going to a new place starting at those positions. The ceiling is very low at most kitchens, so hone the craft and look for opportunities inside and outside your current situation.

May 2015
Never before in the industry.
Line Cook:
Pros: I worked 25 years in the food service industry. Mostly in restaurants and hotels. Major holidays and weekends and even nights and evenings were what I worked year in and year out. I missed many, many family events working in this field. But not anymore. Now I work at a corporate account for compass group. All major holidays are paid days off. I work early morning and early afternoon hours. And best of all this is a Monday thru Friday position. And I love it.
Cons: I am a very talented chef and sometimes I feel like I'm not being challenged by my current position. There is room for advancement but I'm not being recognized for it.
