Introduction

It is known to us that each and every one of us will choose a career while stepping into the society. However, many people don’t know how to choose a career and they are unaware of what the career they have to choose. Therefore this paper would like to analyze the position as a star chef so as to provide some insightful suggestions as for whether this position is a good choice or not. Star chef is the chef that is starred, who is better than the chefs without stars. In fact, Gordon Ramsay and Grant Achatz are typical examples of star chefs. As for the category of this title, it seems to be a very specific job rather than a broad category because it is right the job that is done by many people in the reality.

Star Chef

There is no doubt that knowledge is required for the job as a star chef and the education requirement for this job will change within the life of a career on this path. When it is for a chef in the entry level, the education requirement may be quite low. However, such requirement will accordingly increase after one is engaged in this career for long because this chef has to pick up a series of capabilities, like planting ingredients in the backyard so as to guarantee the ingredients to be fresh, connecting with other chefs, applying the mobile dining car, etc. (Lesley Chesterman. 2018). Without knowledge, a chef may not know how to deal with those capabilities.

As for the abilities and skills that are required for this position, what is a must to mention is that a star chef has to master the cooking skills, including decorating the restaurant, choosing the fresh ingredients for the dishes, selling dishes in the restaurant, using the professional cooking equipment, and so on (Goldfischer Emily. 2017). Obviously, all of these abilities and skills will matter a lot as for whether one can successfully be a competent star chef.

When it comes to the work experience that is required for this job, work experience is important for one to be a star chef. Only in this way can the restaurant be willing to hire him/her as a star chef. After all, a star chef without relevant work experience may fail in cooking delicious dishes so that the restaurant may lose a lot of customers in the due time. A star chef calls for much professional development throughout his/her career in order to advance at a reasonable pace, like how to improve his/her cooking skills, how to broaden their dish division, how to satisfy the likes and dislikes of the customers, etc. Without experience, all of these may be unfamiliar for the chefs.

Concerning the range of compensation for this job at entry level, what is a pity to say is that the compensation is quite low at the first place and the detailed amount is around is bound to increase as time goes by. Just take Canada as an example, the average head chef salary in Canada is C$48,469 (Laurel Wamsley. 2017). Thus it can be readily detected that when one is involved in this job after ten years, then the compensation the star chef can gain is undoubtedly higher than the compensation for this job after five years. The longer one is engaged in this career, the higher compensation one can get on the position.

As to the future prospects of this position, the future prospects of this job choice is quite promising. As a matter of fact, the future prospects one can anticipate if choosing this career path depend on the economy. To put it more specifically, the future prospects for this job will be promising when in a good economy while it may ruin when in a bad economy. It can be understood in this way that good economy enables the audience to have more money to spend in the restaurant and they can afford to go to the restaurant for meals in a high frequency. The economic climate in approaching days is predicted to be good so that the future prospects of this job choice is quite promising.

Conclusion

Based on the above, this job choice may be a good choice once one has worked on it after several years while it may be quite hard for one in the entry level. Thus it is necessary for the star chefs to keep fighting in order to become a competent one soon. Nevertheless, what cannot be neglected is that one still has to try hard and learn all the time in order for better career development as a star chef.
