I want to invite an Indian chef to China. What are the procedures?

With more and more international exchanges and internationalization of catering, there is a growing demand for chefs abroad, and there are more and more opportunities for chefs from China to work abroad. How to find the right way to go abroad and how to find an ideal country job has become a concern of many chefs. Working abroad is very helpful for chefs to increase their experience, knowledge and self-improvement, especially for young chefs.

Prepare for going abroad

Chefs must have certain conditions to go abroad, that is, they must have certain qualifications. Of course, first of all, you must be a chef with a certain technical foundation, which is the most basic premise. At present, many countries have a certain threshold for chefs. Many recruitment brochures clearly indicate that they need a chef's grade certificate, have certain work experience, and issue proof of work experience. As for the specific standards, it varies according to the country and the employer, but generally speaking, it takes at least two years of work experience, and some even need five or six years of work experience to be qualified to go abroad for labor services. In addition, you must have your own cuisine. Cantonese cuisine and Shanghai cuisine are more popular abroad.

In terms of age, there are very strict restrictions on going abroad for labor services. Every employer has an age standard in the recruitment brochure. This standard is quite strict, and no one can be employed above or below their prescribed age. Generally speaking, most of the requirements are between the ages of 25 and 35, and the upper limit is relaxed to 40, but there are fewer people over 40. Chefs around the age of 30 are in the best condition because of their experience and physical strength, and they are the most popular abroad.

In language, there are also different standards. Generally, Chinese restaurants don't have strict language requirements. Most of them only need to speak Mandarin, but if they are cooks of Cantonese cuisine, they are required to speak Cantonese. If you want to go to better restaurants in some countries, such as Britain and Germany, the threshold is higher. Some German restaurants will make it clear that they need to know German, while some British restaurants require to know English. With the threshold of language, it will naturally be more difficult, but correspondingly, the welfare treatment and restaurant treatment in these countries are much better.

In addition, health certificate is also essential for going abroad for labor service, and there are necessary resumes and so on. Some countries also need notarized proof of no criminal record.

If you have all the above, the most important thing is that individuals must have certain funds, and the cost depends on the country they go to. Having said that, the most important thing is to find a suitable way to go abroad and a suitable employer. Generally, information is obtained from operating companies qualified for foreign economic cooperation. After obtaining the labor service information, it is necessary to confirm whether the information is reliable. At present, the country's foreign labor service business has not been fully liberalized, and only companies (hereinafter referred to as operating companies) approved by the Ministry of Commerce and qualified for foreign labor service operation can sign contracts and send laborers abroad. Therefore, the key to confirm whether the information is accurate is to know whether the company that publishes the information has the qualification of overseas labor service operation approved by the Ministry of Commerce or whether it has the power of attorney to operate the company.

If you want to find a way, you should go to the company to learn about specific projects, find out what country and region you want to go to, and then know the names of operating companies and foreign employers; What to do, working period, probation period, working days per month or week, working hours per day; How about salary, including basic salary, overtime pay on holidays, payment method, etc. At the same time, the operating company may be required to produce a copy of the qualification certificate for foreign economic cooperation issued by the Ministry of Commerce and a copy of the contract signed with foreign employers.

It's time to go through all kinds of formalities, including a written interview with your employer.
