Work / How hard is to find head chef jobs in Poland? [37]

Hi there
Just after a little advice I am looking to move to Poland in the 6 months. Reason behind it is I have been many a time and really like the people and the life style. I am currently Taking polish lessons and will continue to till i leave for poland.

My question is how hard will I find it to Find a Head Chefs job...... I have been a chef for 10 years 3 as head chef. I am fully qualified and have Excellent Refferences. I hope to speak a Reasonable level off Polish by the time I leave. What are the salaries like. are there many places that use English, French and Italian Styles off food......

I do know some polish and slovak dishes and pick new things very easy.......

And can any one suggest any agencies in poland that might be able to help me find work..

thanks Dave

forgot to mention i am looking for somwhere between Warsaw, Lublin and Bialystok as I have friends in Bialystok and Krasnik.....
Thanks again

Writing a menu takes a pen and a piece of paper not a qualification, thats for front of house staff.

Lmao dude the last line was a joke..... and as for letting front off house type menus thats just lazy mate never let a waiter near a menu type em your self and just let them print them...... as for cooking i am a classically trained english/french chef who has achieved 2 & 3 rossette awards for food as a head chef in england so you could say i can cook. I have just finished work a 3 month agency contract at a 2 michelin star hotel in north of england and can run and manage a kitchen within budgets and suppose i have decent staff management skills, since i have only ever had 3 staff quit on me in 5 years.

does that qualify me to cook in poland ???????

ohhh please please tell me it does.... lol (Sarcasm)

Ohhh yeah and I have already worked in a polish/slovak rest in England cooking traditional polish/slovak food......

caramalised duck breast served on a bed of dauphiniose potatoes with orange Jew...
And come on dude that crap is sooooo 1980's nobody does that anymore.... and for the record is JUS not JEW

and as for polish people eating english food .... all i got when i was in poland for 2 weeks inseptember was i need arecipe for this and i need a recipe for that etc.... etc..... and not just english food either indian, italian, french

I see the UK Chef attitude is still prevailant, and thats my point.

Ohh youre definently ****** then.

and what is that ........ That i like to push myself and do new and different things... rather than repeat what others are doing ....... I think that is a good attitude to have lol .... its called ambition .....

lol but ohhh well lol

its a fcuking word program,

what exactly do you think a NVQ is ..... ???? Just curious as it doesnt cover menu writing at all ........

Youre a typical Chef with the front of house staff quote and i like that, no matter what theyre never right even if youre so wrong.

No dig at front of house staff dig at lazy chefs who pass there paperwork to front off house....... menu writing is a chefs job....

but as a previously said that was a joke... Hence I wrote --->lol ......... We did network design LAN WAN ... Etc .. HTML, PHP coding COBOL programing... Gif animation .... Graphic design and modeling .... No menu design ....... And yeah it is kinda easy at levels 1-2 but level 3 with assesor certificate is a lil harder but not hard never said it was ......but a lot of places in England look for it now..... And as for so called front off house comment I have no problems with waiters I was one for 4 years while at college... Simply stated "waiters shouldn't be near menus" It is a chefs job not there's.....

any other comments mate kinda bored now though you have your opinions I have mine at the end off the day you don't know me or what kinda if chef I am.... So to be honest this is pointless so think we should just agree to disagree.....
