This is my 1st time ever working in industry cooking. It was very challenging for me. I have been a cook for over 15 years and I thought I was A very good one. I am but could have given up on this job easily in beginning. I can say I am proud I stuck thru it and my job is a breeze now. I have learned more on the job and about myself. I must be doing good, I started at 11.00 and am now up to 14.00 an hour in about 8 months time!
