How much can a chef earn by working abroad?

I have been working as a chef information consulting service abroad for more than two years. In this job, I have experienced too much loss of distrust and joy of being trusted. In this diary, I will talk about many key suggestions for chefs to go abroad. My purpose is out of responsibility. I hope it can really help you understand that chefs go abroad. I hope you will reprint it in order to help more colleagues understand going abroad. Thank you! !

First, the scope of self-analysis of foreign chefs

1, age and language: The best age for chefs to go abroad is 25-38 years old. Most countries have no language and education requirements. A few countries, such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Britain and other major immigrant countries, have English or French requirements. There is basically no language requirement for pure chefs in other countries.

2. Technology and region: At present, Chinese restaurants all over the world are basically medium-sized restaurants and fast food snack bars. There are no special technical requirements for employers to recruit chefs from China. The main reason is that Chinese food is no longer authentic. The difference between the authenticity of Japanese and Korean chefs means that Chinese food is not authentic. Some foreign students will go to restaurants to work if they know a little about cooking Chinese food. Therefore, employers choose chefs' personality and hard-working quality, and they can master cooking skills and adapt to obedience.

3. Health and certificate: Chefs must be healthy when they go abroad to work, so that they can successfully engage in the physical labor required by the chef's work. To go abroad, you need to provide many necessary identification documents, such as chef's certificate, household registration book, employment certificate, etc. You should also provide all kinds of materials that the foreign party allows you to work in your country, such as employment contract, international health certificate, passport, visa, etc.

4. Cost: Going abroad through a legal and formal labor service company is the simplest and safest way. Of course, this way will produce the cost of going abroad, that is, the agency fee. Generally, the cost of going abroad will account for half a year or a year of the chef's expenses, usually ranging from 50,000 to10.2 million, depending on the charging standards of the state and labor service companies. Low-cost or no-cost way: go abroad through relatives and friends. This way is limited to your relatives and closest friends. It is conceivable that not everyone can get such an opportunity, otherwise the domestic labor agency will close down.

Second, chefs go abroad to adapt to the crowd.

1. adapt to the crowd: the salary of the general chefs going abroad is basically between 8,000-1.2 million after tax in the first year, and some special employers are higher than these standards. Countries with higher wages include Australia, Canada, New Zealand and several other countries. However, the harsh entry requirements and high entry threshold in these countries limit the application of most chefs. Even if all the conditions are excellent, the possibility of rejection is still great. Therefore, the most suitable people for chefs to go abroad are those whose domestic salary is about 3-5 thousand, and more than 6 thousand think that it is better to make money abroad than to develop at home.

2. Purpose of going abroad: 80% of chefs mainly aim at making money abroad, while 10% want to go abroad for a walk, and 10% want to emigrate through the chef's technical expertise. Of course, there are also chefs with good academic background and good English language foundation. These people want to improve their language skills by working abroad. No matter which of the above aims is to make money in the end, if you think you can't develop without making money through calculation, I think it's better to travel abroad.

3. Professional category: The categories of overseas chefs include China chefs, Japanese chefs, Thai chefs, pastry chefs, Lamian Noodles chefs, nutritionists, sculptors and almost all kinds of professionals. People who are willing to work hard, obey the constructive suggestions of their employers, have no bad hobbies, have a positive attitude and a cheerful personality are very suitable for choosing to work abroad.

Third, judge for yourself whether to go abroad.

1, Time to Go Abroad: The working contract of chefs abroad is always 2-3 years or even longer. In many countries, employers will come to you to discuss whether to continue working according to your ability. If you are satisfied with your job and are willing to stay, you can generally renew your contract with your employer for one year, and you can renew it after one year according to your performance. The contract here needs to be determined according to the policies of each country and the personal ability of the chef. Usually you can work for more than 3 years, for example, Germany can only work for 4 years at the longest. )

2. Family environment: To work abroad, you must first get the approval of your family. Those who have wives and children should also consider their opinions. Don't make your own decisions blindly. Personal pursuit does not mean that the whole family will follow happiness. Only when you have no worries at home can you work peacefully abroad, so that you will feel very happy when you work.

3. Personal situation: working abroad is not always superior to working at home, and some countries are not as good as working at home. Please read the following patiently, and I will introduce it to you. Generally speaking, it takes 7-8 years to be a chef in China, and the salary level may reach more than 6,000, which is still beyond the reach of many chefs. Then if you work abroad, you can get a monthly salary of more than 8,000 yuan or even 10,000 yuan in a short time. How many years will you struggle in China? Of course, the premise is that you have working experience as a chef and a certain economic cost basis for going abroad, which is determined according to your current salary level.

Fourth, it is not suitable for chefs working abroad.

Chinese restaurants or western restaurants in most countries are busy, and there is no clear division of labor among foreign chefs. A kitchen is divided into chef, second chef and handyman. Some countries are divided into primary, secondary and frying pans. Although the post is clear, the work content is similar. Chefs also have to work as second chefs, or clean dishes. There is only one chef in the smaller restaurant, and the boss is responsible for helping. Therefore, domestic chefs or chefs, if not prepared for this, had better not choose to work abroad.

At home, skilled chefs whose salary level is higher than 6000 are not suitable for working abroad. After all, it won't bring you more benefits. If you have to go abroad, it is not impossible to spend some money to change the country, try to challenge yourself in different environments, hone yourself and see your wishes.

People who are withdrawn, hesitant, timid and do not work hard at ordinary times are not suitable for working abroad. This kind of chef can't change his shortcomings in a short time when he goes abroad. At this time, the employer may dismiss you, and you are in a dilemma. First, if you go back to China, it means that you have to buy your own plane ticket to go home after going abroad. When you get home, your family will blame your friends and laugh at you. Such a blow will make you lose confidence in your future life and work. Second, if you want to stay and your employer doesn't want you, you lose your legal status. Without legal status, they can only find black jobs, which also means great risks of being repatriated, imprisoned, fined or even unable to return to China.

To sum up, chefs are generally not suitable to be divided into those who can't put down their identity as chefs, those who can't stand the boss's instructions and obey his orders, those who are subjective and self-centered, those who have no awareness of saving money and partying, those who are grumpy and easy to fight, and so on. That's all for today. ....................
