random comp question...

hey all,

long time forum creeper, first time poster.

this is probably the wrong section. but i'll give you a quick rundown--

used to always want to work in a kitchen, did for a little while but then my life went down a different path. i then landed a steady/stable job. but now i'm 25 and thinking of being one of those "career changers" .. i'm now looking for a kitchen to work in at any position. but now to the reason of my first post...

recently virgin money have had this comp on facebook "childhood dream" where people post their dream and if they get the most votes virgin money will make it happen.. (well...make it happen up to $5000 worth).  the comp ends soon but i thought i'd give it a shot at entering. 

i posted my dream which was to work at the french laundry as a dishwasher (yes, a dishwasher) for a month. i know i more than likely have no chance at winning but i only entered an hour ago and already have 6 votes. the person in the lead (a friend of mine) has only 149 votes. so maybe it's not unrealistic.

anyway-- if any of you would do me the massive favor and vote. it would be a huge honor.

yes.. i know.. i'm begging. sorry :(

hey, thanks for the reply.

the reason for the comp is more to do with the fact i'm in australia and if i was to win (highly highly unlikely) then my flights/accom would be paid for. if i lived in the states then, yeah, i would have just asked if i could stage and then hoped for the best. 

but yeah, absolutely true that maybe stageing as a steward wouldnt be the best idea. but it's a virgin comp and i figured the whole richard branson/virgin company idea thing- he would probably prefer it if you were to start right from the bottom :/  .. just a thought.

how long did you stage there for?

thanks,
