ok i will be moving to napa mid August, i need to do a 5 week internship to finish school. i will be talking to my school and seeing if they have any connections in that area.

but what im hopping is to get a job weekend job that i can drive up and start working as soon as i can. i would start that in 2 weeks if i could. my fiancée just got afford a job in yountville and i guess we are moving and she will be moving out there in about a month.

any one work in that area, that would be willing to work with a intern. i would prefer a internship that leads to a job so i can have stuff set when i move out there. . i would prefer a small fine dinning restaurant but i will go any where were i can learn. i love to work hard.


please contact me if you would be willing to meet me i could drive down there and meet you.

my school will help me out with getting into a country club or hotel working there connections though ACF( my school is near sacramento)so they can only do what they have conections. with but using thoughs im not going to get into the best place i can im going to have to put in some foot work my self. i bummed into a chef that used to work in napa and he just retired and he gave me a few names to talk to. so in a few week ill head over there and talk to some people. and personally i would rather get the job and earn it buy the foot work then be givin it though my school. i would rather go meet with the chef and have them like what they are hiring.
