Knowing which resources are available to you is the first step to finding that dream job, being employed as a chef in the location of your desire.
Offline
In the real world, you will find several different chefs employment resources. These are your best option if you prefer to talk to real people and look at actual papers. However, offline job searches can be far more time consuming and you may have to travel to find the resources. Employment agencies are one place you can start. They usually have listings for a variety of jobs which may or may not include chefs employment. An agency can place you in jobs within their area, so if you are planning to apply to jobs all over the country, you will probably need to make trips to other agencies. Another option is to simply go to the restaurant or hotel that you would like to work at and offer them your services as chef. If you are lucky, they will have an opening that you can fill. Otherwise, ask them to keep your name and CV on file in case something comes up. Chefs publications often carry employment positions in the back and are worth checking to see if there is anything that you could apply for. Don't leave out regular newspapers, either, although finding chefs employment in these is more unlikely.
Online
Searching for chefs employment online is far easier and faster than doing so offline. However, if you aren't certain of yourself on the computer, it might be a bit daunting at first. Doing a search for chefs employment on any search engine should turn up a good number of websites that have job listings on them. Discard any that are general job boards, since they are of little use to chefs who are seeking employment. Rather, look for job sites that cater directly to chefs and restaurants. Setting up a profile with your CV and contact info is pretty easy. Just sign up for an account at a chefs employment site such as chefsworld.net and add your information. You can then browse through the job listings for something that interests you. Potential employers will also be able to look at your information and contact you if they are interested in hiring you. It is up to you to decide if you want to take the job or not.
Whether on the internet or off, you will find plenty of resources for finding chefs employment. Looking for work? If you are a chef and are actively searching for chefs vacancies, it is a great idea to do so online. Offline options only give you a handful of job opportunities and you usually have to do more work in order to find them. However, the internet puts worldwide chefs vacancies at your fingertips! Want to work in Colchester or Suffolk? No problem! Looking for positions in York? A couple clicks of the mouse and you'll find them! Searching for chefs vacancies online is a good way to expand your options as well. You can easily check out hotel and restaurant jobs in other areas, just to see what is available, without having to go to an agency in that area or buy a specific newspaper. It is all right there on the internet and very easy to find.
While large, general jobsites are one place to look, you might prefer more specialized job boards, ones where chefs vacancies are the only focus. Larger sites tend to be more difficult to search, although they can offer a very wide range of positions and can also give you your choice of geographical listings. Smaller, more specific chefs vacancies websites are the best place to find high quality jobs. Websites such as chefsworld.net offer more tailored job listings and are a great way to discover the position you want. When you find a website with chefs vacancies that interest you, make sure you bookmark it so that you can keep checking back for updates. There are frequently new jobs and checking frequently is the best way to get those jobs before someone else does.
Most sites that offer chef jobs will also allow you to put your CV online for future employers to see, as well. This is a good idea for two reasons. One, it is possible that someone looking for a chef with your qualifications will see it and contact you for a position. Secondly, when you wish to contact a potential employer, you can simply point him to your CV which is already available online.
