kitchen assistant Review

my work experience involved preparing food to be served to the residents of the torrwood care center. I had to cut up things such as carrots and onions. I also had to make/ bake cakes for the residents as well as the odd bit of wiping up near the end of the day so that the kitchen space was clean for the next day.

I learnt a lot about food preparation and how kitchens run. At the time of my work experience, I was thinking about future job placements and wanted to see how busy a kitchen really was. I learnt that they are very busy and that they keep you on your toes. I also learnt a lot about food sanitary as well.

Work experience for me was very long and tiring but it showed me just how hard jobs are like in that industry and that you have to be dedicated and hard working if you want to succeed in a kitchen. I enjoyed my work experience as I met a lot of new people and learnt quite a lot of food preparation skills

My work experience was organised perfectly and the stuff that I wanted to learn was taught to me. The place that I did my work experience had a router made for what I had to do and when Every day I had to prepare a different type of vegetable. It was a great experience.

I learnt loads about the company culture and it showed me just how busy places like that are. I learnt that the catering industry is an extremely busy place and that you have to be a really hard worker to be able to stay on your toes in a busy work place.

My work experience showed me that I should look into different career paths after leaving school instead of just one. Before I did work experience I was set on the catering industry but after working in the place that I did I realised that I wouldn't be in my element in a catering job.

Since I did the work experience with my school I did not get paid as they thought that since I was in an experience I should not have been paid as I was not properly doing a normal job. So I did not end up getting paid for my work experience.

I worked close to 5 other employees as in a kitchen everyone has something to do and everyone was very busy all hours of the day. I met this other kitchen assistant that was working there part-time who was a very friendly character that helped me find my way around the kitchen.

Yes

The company taught me a bunch of different life skills and cooking skills. I believe that anyone that goes there for work experience will come out with double the knowledge they had going in. Also, the other people that worked there showed me what it was like to work with colleagues.

I would say to someone applying to the company that they need to be hard working and have the mind set that they want to get things done as the work place is very hard and requires a lot of physical energy and concentration. I would also say to have a positive attitude.
