Plus previously I did my practical at Transnet Phelophepa from there I went to work at Sizzling Catering management as an Head chef.

I feel I am suitable for this position as I have a great deal of experience at the back of the house. I consider myself to be a friendly, efficient and enthusiastic worker. I believe I would be the ideal candidate for this position based on the fact that I have much experience at the back of the house.
