"Those that love food and creating it sometimes find that they are happiest when they are working within the industry. Now, running a restaurant kitchen is very hard and exhausting work, but it can pay off. So if you found yourself dreaming about being in some of the finest restaurants and trying out some of your own special recipes, then listen up as we talk about how to become an apprentice chef. One of the first suggestions that I would make is hang out at your favorite restaurant. Ask lots of questions of the wait staff and ask if you might be able to shadow the chef for a day. Secondly, look for positions in a restaurant trade so that you can gain valuable industry experience. Start with any job: cook, assistant cook, dishwasher, whatever it takes. Show initiative, show an interest in learning, ask lots of questions and show an interest in food and you'll gain some very valuable experience. Secondly, check out the local paper for apprentice chef positions. It never hurts to apply for these jobs as these jobs are designed to teach. Often times, you'll find employers that are willing to pay for you to take courses that will upgrade your skills. And the next step would be to talk to lots of people in the industry. Make contacts like you would for any other job. By building a networking system, you'll be kept abreast of new openings and opportunities and finally, you may want to think about enrolling in a culinary arts program. Often times, culinary institutes, once the course work is finished, will help match their students with established apprenticeship programs, so keep up the good work, show lots of initiative, ask lots of questions and very soon, you'll be well on your way to becoming an apprentice chef."
