Dawn covered most of the bases but what I wanted to add is that I know of two excellent caterers on different ends of the spectrum in the Philly area that you should apply to.
One is
Maggio's Presents: Catering by Gina Miriam
P.O. Box 1518
Southampton, PA 18966
Contact
Gina
(215) 364-4983 tel
the other is feastivities catering
Feastivities Catering, Inc.
Interested candidates should submit their resume and qualifications to
Jim Weyant, HR Manager
via email to
staffing@feastivitiescatering.com
or mail to Feastivities Events 440 Domino Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19128
they are both large catering companies that would probably afford you the opportunity to work as a cater- chef on events - which is a great way to get your foot in the door and gain experience. If you don't have enough food experience yet, you can work as a prep person or even as a cater waiter.
