Are you looking at becoming an Executive Chef? They are the leader of a kitchen with regard to managing menus, staff and administration. Executive Chefs are the head of the kitchen, which means they have significant planning, administrative and financial responsibilities. Due to their level of responsibility, many Executive Chefs are not routinely involved in food preparation. Most kitchens either have an Executive Chef or a Head chef, but rarely both.
Currently, there are only 165 positions for an Executive Chef across Australia with a common salary of $110K per year. While it is an extremely competitive role to get into, The Perfect Resume team has helped others to land an interview in the Hospitality & Tourism industry. We believe we can increase your chances with our resume writing services also!
To apply for an Executive Chef position, your resume will need to prove to recruiters and prospective employers that you will have the following transferable skills:
- Designing and planning menu ideas, creating recipes and establishing cooking standards within a kitchen.
- Setting budgets, writing and costing menus, and ensuring the kitchen adheres to budgets and food costs are controlled.
- Working closely with the restaurant manager, chef team and customer service to ensure the smooth operation of the business.
Due to the high volume of applications for an Executive Chef received every year, qualifications that would increase your chances of landing an interview include a Certificate III in Commercial Cookery (or equivalent), completing an apprenticeship or traineeship or working your way up the kitchen ladder to become a Commis Chef, then Chef de Partie, Sous Chef and then an Executive Chef.
