Chefs who lie on a résumé may get burnt

March 27,2008 By Mary Beth Lawton Johnson

Ever get the feeling that maybe you just don’t stack up to other chefs in this industry, especially if you just looked at their blazing hot résumé?

Was it too hot to handle?

I am sure you have seen other chefs’ résumés and you think yours doesn’t look that good. Do you get the feeling that your qualifications and life experiences are not up to par with the rest of the crowd?

How about the menus that they submit with their résumés? Aren’t they overly painted with fancy words and exotic ingredients and strange items?

Don’t worry; you are not alone. I have seen scores of résumés by chefs who plump theirs up with so much batter it could fry them. I have also seen some menus that accompany those résumés and sometimes they don’t match up with the level of experience.

Little white lies that lead to big megayacht jobs (and bigger money) that are based on adding extra batter to your résumé will ultimately burn you in the end.

Wow, MegaYacht News. Oh to have a reason to subscribe to this journal. I can't imagine owning a yacht yet alone a mega yacht that employs a chef.

It's fun to see how the other half lives. I wish I had to worry about the resume of my chef. But then I wouldn't get to cook.
