8- What interests me about this job?

astriano26 — 2024-09-03 17:38:19 UTC

The idea of cooking for other people while they are on vacation is interesting because people are enjoying their vacation and I am giving them a better experience when I cook good meals/food. Plus, I’d be getting a cruise ride for free. I don’t get seasick, so I’d handle the job well, and I’m sure as a cruise ship chef there would be lots of benefits. I always considered working in a restaurant kitchen. In all of my job experiences I have worked in a kitchen and I always had an enjoyable time while working.
