I would take the job and if needed work extra hours off the clock to learn the Chefs way of doing things. When I was starting out I worked my shift 5am to 5pm in the restaurant. The GM/Chef told me if you want to learn anything stop up to his office from 5 to 10 pm ( on my own time). If you really love this kind of work it doesn't matter how many hours a day you work while yout learning. This will also show the Chef you are the real deal. The Chef is giving you a chance at a job that you really arn't qualified for , take the ball and run with it.....Don't look at it as a job, look at it as a learning experience........Good Luck...Bill |
