Finding a Flexible Job in the Food Industry

How would you like to determine when and where you work in Vancouver's top hospitality organizations? When Heather Loke came to NWCAV to apprise students of her company, Cooks For Hire, many of us tried to figure out what the catch was. There simply isn't one. This unique on-call cooks service assists in relieving the food industry's staffing issues in the Greater Vancouver area. Her brilliant agency creates a win-win situation for everyone.

Cooks For Hire understands that food-related establishments encounter staffing problems on an ongoing basis so it has created a system that places reliable and well-trained industry employees of all levels to locations that need both short- and long-term assistance. There is a long list of incentives to want to work for this agency which include:

• flexible schedules
• competitive pay rates
• performance bonuses
• training and refresher courses
• employee discounts at kitchen equipment and apparel stores

Cooks For Hire is especially attractive for culinary and pastry graduates that come out of school and want to get their feet wet at different places in the industry. As the 2010 Winter Olympics nears, my guess is that their phone will be ringing off the hook.
