Default How do you find your employees?

Hello everyone, I am currently a student at my local Community College and will be finished with my associates degree in Culinary Arts May 2010. I work at a mom and pop restaurant and have been there for about 3 1/2 years now. I was interested in knowing how chefs find their employees, I got this job through an internship through school. If you use the sites like Monster or through references, any information would be helpful thank you.

I used to run an add in the paper but now mainly use craigs list. I seem to get the best reponse from there. It's great that you have been at the same place for a good period of time that's a big thing for me, I don't like to see people bouncing around from job to job. Also I like people that can just relax and be themselves during the interview process. Don't over dress (suit and tie) for a line cooks job. Show a willingness to do anything and everything........good luck!!!

Thank you for replying, I actually have been looking at craigs list ever since a friend of mine told me about it. I thought it was a joke at first but I found some well know restaurants posting on there and did not see any on other sites like monster,career builder. Any other comments would be helpful, thank you again.
