It’s time to move job chef (well, maybe!). When you’re a chef working long hours, it’s not always easy to find the time to look for a new job. But there can be tell-tale signs at work that signal that it’s time to start the search.
Its time to move job chef – Here are 5 signs it’s time to make a change:
1. Your day off is spent dreading going back to work.
If the thought of another shift seeing the same colleagues, serving the same customers, in the same venue makes you dread going back to work – not occasionally, but all the time – it’s probably the right time to start looking for a new job. It’s often easy to put up with the status quo, but ultimately you need to be happy at work. Especially given the amount of time chefs spend at work.
2. It’s time to move job chef – You haven’t learnt anything new at work for ages.
Everybody wants those days at work where everything is a breeze, but likewise without being challenged people often get bored. They can start to lose that ‘edge’ that got them hired in the first place.
If you find that your learning curve has plateaued (or seems to be going backwards…) and you’re not able to change this, it might be the right time to start looking.
3. There’s more ‘I’ than team.
If you’ve lost your enthusiasm to make an effort with your colleagues, and overtime this becomes more pronounced then it’s probably not just a ‘phase’ and you should consider working elsewhere.
4. Its time to move job chef – Everyone is getting promoted ahead of you.
Are you finding that other chefs who joined your current employer (in a similar position – but after you started) are being promoted? If they are, is it because you have stagnated in your current role? You won’t know unless you ask. Depending on what you uncover, it might mean a move to a new employer. Little point staying if there’s no chance of promotion!
5. You wouldn’t take your bosses job (even if it was offered to you).
Not everyone wants to reach the most senior role they can in their profession, but if your ambition and motivation to be the best you can be has left you in your current role, then a new chef job may be just what you need to get back on track.
