What are the requirements for a chef to go abroad? How much does it cost?

Chefs must meet certain conditions to go abroad, that is, they must have certain qualifications. Of course, you must first be a chef and have a certain technical foundation. This is the most basic prerequisite. At present, many countries have certain thresholds for chefs. Many recruitment brochures clearly indicate that they need a chef level certificate and certain work experience, as well as a certificate of work experience. As for the specific standards, they vary depending on the country and employer, but generally speaking, at least two years of work experience are required. In South Korea, it takes five or six years of work experience to be qualified to work abroad. In addition, you must have a cuisine that you are good at. Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine are more popular abroad.

In terms of age, there are very strict restrictions on working abroad. According to the labor service company, every employer has age standards in their recruitment brochures. This standard is quite strict. It is difficult for people who are above or below the age group they specify to be hired. Generally speaking, most of them are required to be between 25 and 40 years old. The upper limit is also relaxed to 45 years old, but there are relatively few over 45 years old. Chefs around 30 years old are in the best condition regardless of experience and physical strength. Most popular abroad.

In terms of language, each has its own standards. Generally, Chinese restaurants do not have very strict language restrictions. Most of them only need to speak Mandarin, such as Korean, but if they are chefs making Cantonese cuisine, It is required to be able to speak Cantonese. If you want to go to better restaurants in certain countries, such as the United Kingdom and Germany, the threshold is relatively high. Some German restaurants will clearly indicate that you need to speak German, and some British restaurants require you to speak English. With the language threshold, it will naturally be more difficult, but correspondingly, the welfare benefits and restaurant treatment in these countries are also much better.

In addition, a health certificate is also essential for working abroad, as well as a necessary resume, etc. Some countries also require a notarized certificate of no criminal convictions.

If you have all the above, the most important point is that you must have a certain amount of funds, and the cost depends on the country you are going to. It can range from 40,000 RMB to 70,000 to 80,000 RMB, but generally it will not exceed 100,000 RMB. With all this in place, the main thing is to find the right way to go abroad and the right employer. Under normal circumstances, a variety of information on recruiting overseas laborers can be obtained from television, radio, newspapers, the Internet and other media, and information can also be obtained from operating companies with foreign economic cooperation qualifications. After obtaining labor information, you need to confirm whether the information is reliable. At present, the country has not fully liberalized the overseas labor service business. Only companies with overseas labor service business qualifications approved by the Ministry of Commerce (hereinafter referred to as operating companies) can sign contracts with foreign countries and dispatch labor personnel abroad (overseas). Therefore, the key to confirming whether the information is accurate is to know whether the company publishing the information has the qualification to operate overseas labor services approved by the Ministry of Commerce, or whether it has an agency authorization letter to operate the company.

After finding a way, you need to go to the company to focus on the specific project situation. You need to think about the country and region you want to go to, and then you need to know the names of the operating company and the foreign employer; what kind of work you are going to do, Working period, probation period, number of working days per month or week, working hours per day; remuneration, including basic salary, overtime pay on holidays, wage payment method, etc. At the same time, the operating company can also be required to produce the "Foreign Economic Cooperation and Development Certificate" issued by the Ministry of Commerce. A copy of the Cooperative Business Qualification Certificate, a copy of the contract signed with the foreign employer, etc.

After that, you have to go through various procedures, including the interview with your employer. The length of this process varies, from as little as 3 months to as much as half a year, depending on the specific situation. There is a difference.
