I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 280 How about recruiting her to be the boss's secretary?

"This guy is not bad. He got his senior chef certificate at the age of 24, and he is still the head chef of a restaurant. He even wrote clearly the purpose of applying for the job. He just wants to come to Qicanteen to learn skills!"

"Tsk tsk, why is there a female chef? It's really rare! The resume looks pretty good, not only did the white case, but also the red case, rich experience, amazing!"

"This... This mid-level chef doesn't have any specialties, and he doesn't have any impressive experience, so let's forget it!"

"Application for an apprenticeship? Didn't even understand the recruitment notice, get eliminated!"

"Hey! What the hell is this? Our cafeteria is recruiting chefs. What does this guy mean by sending out a resume for a programmer? It's just playing the piano!"

"..."

Seven canteens, in the boxes on the first floor.

Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu sat around a pile of resumes and carefully screened them one by one.

Jiang Yu, on the other hand, seemed very quiet. While drinking tea, he flipped through his resumes, and when he saw the ones that were suitable, he put them on the sofa, and those that didn't, he put them directly on the coffee table.

Lu Shuwu, on the other hand, was much more excited. While looking at the resume, he kept mumbling about it. From time to time, when he saw a good resume for a job application, he couldn't help but make some comments.

Of course, most of the more than 100 resumes are invalid resumes, purely for making trouble.

The so-called "invalid resume" naturally refers to a resume that is obviously inconsistent with the recruitment requirements.

For example, in the recruitment notice issued by Seven Canteens, it is clearly indicated that they are recruiting chefs, but many people still have a try attitude and send resumes for "apprentices" and "waiters".

Among them, there are not a few girls who want to apply for the "waiter" of the Seventh Canteen, and most of them have attached their life photos at the end of their resumes.

This made Lu Shuwu very interested, and from time to time let out a wretched "hehe" laugh:

"Boss, boss, take a look, take a look! This girl is really nice, she is tall and has long legs, fair skin and beautiful, and she has a pretty good figure!

I think that the waiter might not be suitable, why don't we recruit in and be your female secretary? "

"I think it's time to find a girlfriend to take care of you."

Jiang Yu glanced at him and said lightly,
"When I go to visit your old man in August, I'll mention it to him. I guess he also wants to be a great grandfather."

"Hey, Boss, don't mind! I haven't played enough, I don't want to find a girlfriend so early!"

When Lu Shuwu heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he quickly said with a smile,
"I'm just joking with you, I won't say it, can I not say it?"

In the next period of time, Lu Shuwu really settled down a lot, and he was busy screening resumes all the time, and he was not as surprised as before.

The two of them had been busy for nearly two hours before they went through all the resumes on the coffee table.

Among so many resumes, there were only about thirty or so that really met the basic requirements on the recruitment notice.

"Hey, finally finished watching!"

Lu Shuwu threw the last resume in his hand into the eliminated pile, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, stood up from the sofa, stretched vigorously, shook his head and sighed,

"Looking at this thick pile of resumes, I thought there were really so many chefs applying for the job. I didn't expect that there were so many fake ones. It's a waste of our time."

"We only recruited two or three chefs in total, and now there are about [-] chefs left after the screening. I still think there are too many people."

Jiang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, took a big sip of the cold tea on the coffee table, smacked his lips and said,
"There are still a few days until the deadline for registration, and it is estimated that many resumes will be received, and we will see if there are any more suitable ones at that time.

Afterwards, we need to fine-screen the resumes that have been screened out. It is enough to keep a dozen or so people, and then we will find a time to call them over for an interview. "

Lu Shuwu was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously: "Do you want to screen again?"

"of course."

Jiang Yu turned to look at him and said,

"It's not easy to deal with too many people. They came all the way, but they didn't apply for the job. It's a small waste of their time, and it will also affect their work.

There are quite a few people here who are still employed. We have to ask them first how long it will take to arrive at the post after the application is successful. Some restaurants and restaurants may not agree to release people, and it is also troublesome to procrastinate. "

"That's true."

Lu Shuwu thought for a while, and then asked, "If we re-screen, what is the standard?"

"I think so. Although it is normal for chefs to change jobs in the catering industry, I think that no matter in the catering industry or any other industry, there should be no boss who is willing to recruit new people every now and then. Of course I am the same."

Jiang Yu thought for a while, and then said seriously,

"So, if we re-screen, we can exclude those resumes that change jobs relatively frequently.

In addition, there are some chefs whose purpose is simply to improve their personal skills, which can also be directly ruled out.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to learn cooking skills, but I'm not as selfless as they imagined. Seventh Canteen is not a culinary school. Those who want to learn skills simply should not come. "

When Lu Shuwu heard this, he couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment on his face: "This, it's hard for us to judge!"

"Isn't that easy?"

Jiang Yu smiled, leaned over, flipped through the selected resumes a few times, took out a copy, glanced at it, then handed it to Lu Shuwu, and said with a smile,

"Like this, 24 years old, a senior chef, graduated from the Culinary Institute of Guangling University with a bachelor's degree in cooking. He studied under Wu Wendao, a master of Huaxia cuisine and a famous teacher of Huaiyang cuisine, and Kong Zhongyue, a famous Sichuan cuisine master. He is good at making Huaiyang cuisine and Sichuan cuisine...

This kind of person can be seen to be very capable just from his resume. How could he be willing to stay in a university cafeteria as a chef for a long time?
Therefore, he is willing to apply for the position of chef in the Seventh Canteen, and most likely he just wants to come and see if he can improve his personal skills in the Seventh Canteen, but no matter whether he can learn the skills, it is estimated that he will not be able to stay here for a long time. long time. "

"..."

When Lu Shuwu heard Jiang Yu read this resume, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief,
"Hold the grass! What the hell, the Culinary Institute of Guangling University, there is a book in our place, better than the universities I went to!

Huaxia's "Chinese Cuisine Prosperity Base" is located in this college. It is also the only catering professional college in China that grants bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, representing the highest level of catering teaching and scientific research in China.

Students who come out of this academy, as long as they don't steal, cheat, or skip classes every three days, their prospects after graduation are quite bright, and they don't have to worry about finding a job at all. "

After a pause, he continued,

"Like the resume you read just now, boss, his two mentors alone are amazing. If he really wants to come to our No. [-] canteen to apply, he will definitely not stay for long."

"That's what I meant."

Jiang Yu laughed, shook his head and said,
"The small temple of the Seventh Canteen really can't accommodate such a great god who obviously has a bright future. It's best not to let him come."

"If you want to talk about a great god, no one can compare to you, boss."

Hearing Jiang Yu demeaning himself so much, Lu Shuwu quit immediately. He gave Jiang Yu a strange look, and said with a smile, "Hehe",

"Our Seventh Canteen not only has the boss, but also Lao Jia, and even you two great gods are accommodated, so what is a mere senior chef who has just graduated a few years ago?
It's just that our No. [-] canteen is a student canteen, not a vocational training base. For those who just want to learn art, it must be insensitive. "

The two chatted for a while longer, and after roughly finalizing the criteria for the second round of screening, it was almost past four o'clock.

After Jiang Yu drank the tea in the cup, he washed the tea cup and put it back in the cupboard. Then he went up to the second floor again and started preparing dinner.

As for Lu Shuwu, of course he wasn't idle either. He had much more busy things to do than Jiang Yu.

……

A few days later, the deadline for "Jiang Daqi Canteen Recruitment for Chefs" had passed, and Hua Xiaoling printed out the resumes of the second batch of applicants and sent them to Seven Canteen.

This batch of resumes was even more than before. It took Jiang Yu, Lu Shuwu, and Lao Jia more than half an afternoon to finish the initial screening and screened out more than 30 resumes.

A day later, the three began the second round of screening.

Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu had discussed the selection criteria before, but Lao Jia made a new suggestion:
"I don't think we should ignore those junior chefs and intermediate chefs who are relatively inferior. Although their cooking skills are a bit poor, if they really want to be trained, they can become the mainstay of the cafeteria.

Especially for those whose family background is not so good, it is not easy for them to find a job because of their low level.

These days, whether it is recruitment or what to do, ability is second, and character is the key. "

What he said came out of feeling.

In Lao Jia's generation, most cooks were taught by mentors, and the "old" brought the "new". The most important thing was the relationship between master and apprentice.

This kind of master-student relationship is very different from the relationship between teachers and students today.

That really means "being a teacher for one day and being a father for the rest of your life", and those with deep feelings are no less than biological father and son.

Just like Lu Shuwu's grandfather, Lu Jinsheng, the kitchen of the restaurant he opened was full of his disciples and grandchildren, and the restaurant of Lao Jia's was the same.

Even if the apprentice leaves the master and goes out alone, he will never dare to confront the master, otherwise, he will be a "rebel" and will be despised by all the chefs in the circle.

Therefore, in Lao Jia's opinion, since he wants to recruit chefs, if he encounters a good seedling with good character, he might as well bring his own apprentices. The apprentices he brought out by himself can be used with confidence.

Although his idea is a bit old, it is still a way of thinking, so neither Jiang Yu nor Lu Shuwu refuted it.

If you can really meet someone with good talent and good character, there is no problem bringing them along, but the most important thing now is to recruit a few chefs who can be used as soon as they come in.

Because the current No. [-] canteen is really short of manpower, and when the school starts in September in the second half of the year, after the new students enter school, they will definitely be very busy.

They can't wait for the apprentices they lead to grow up slowly.

It took another afternoon, and the three of them struggled to select 60 more resumes from more than 10 initially screened resumes.

The reason why I say "difficult" is that some applicants have very similar experiences. On paper, they are all similar, so it is really difficult to choose.

If you really want to distinguish between superior and inferior, you can only compete in cooking skills on the spot, but considering that there are too many people, it is really impossible to gather so many people to compete on the spot, Jiang Yu and others can only blindly fumble with their eyes closed .

Of course, Jiang Yu also focused on these 10 resumes. Most of the people in this group are local chefs in Zhangjiang, and only a few are from Xiaoxiang, Jingchu and other places.

As for the applicants from Sichuan, Shu, Shandong and other places thousands of miles away, Jiang Yu excluded them all.

Few people are willing to go too far from home, and even if they do, it won't stay for long.

Again, Jiang Yu didn't want to turn Seven Canteen into a culinary training base, it was as simple as that.

But Zhangjiang's local chefs are different. Jiangzhou is the provincial capital of Zhangjiang, and it is only a few hours' drive away from home. Relatively speaking, the acceptance level is much higher.

Besides, Jiangzhou University is well-known in the province, and being able to be a chef in the cafeteria of Jiangzhou University is more or less a qualification for local chefs.

After selecting the last 10 resumes that were "shortlisted", Jiang Yu didn't waste any more time. He told Hua Xiaoling the results that afternoon and asked her to announce the news through the "Jiang Daqi Canteen" Douyin account.

"Let's send a notice. One week later, that is, at nine o'clock in the morning on Saturday, July 7, these ten applicants who have passed the initial test will be invited to Jiang Daqi canteen for the final interview."

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said to Hua Xiaoling,

"In order to prevent some people from ignoring the notification on the Internet, you will send a separate SMS notification to these ten applicants when the time comes."

"Okay, boss, I'll send an announcement in a moment."

Hua Xiaoling replied vaguely, and hurriedly stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of oily fermented bean curd and braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth, her eyes were so beautiful that she narrowed her eyes.

She didn't care what kind of chef was hired. Anyway, no matter who was hired, the food they cooked would definitely not be as delicious as Boss Xiaojiang's!

After dinner, Hua Xiaoling, who accidentally overfed herself, couldn't rush home immediately. She had to wait until the food in her stomach was almost digested before she dared to take the bumpy bus ride. .

Otherwise, she was really worried that the food that had already filled her throat would be thrown out again before she reached the urban area.

So, Hua Xiaoling simply hid back in the box on the first floor, and turned on the laptop while resting. It took nearly half an hour to carefully draw up a "About the Recruitment of Chefs in Jiang Daqi Canteen." Interview notice" and sent it to the Douyin account of "Jiang Daqi Canteen".

After finishing these tasks, she followed Jiang Yu's previous instructions, picked up her mobile phone and sent interview text message notifications to the ten candidates who were shortlisted for interviews.

After finishing all this work, Hua Xiaoling had almost had a rest, so she turned off her laptop, put it back into her backpack, and packed up her personal belongings a little, then got up and left the box on the first floor, and went home.

……

In downtown Jiangzhou, Qingshan Restaurant.

Today is Friday, and tomorrow is the weekend, so the restaurant is very lively tonight.

Even though it was past eight o'clock in the evening, the lobby of the restaurant was still full of guests and very lively.

Jiangzhou people probably have some foodie genes in their bodies. Although the economic level of this old city is very average, there are never any shortage of restaurants and restaurants in the streets and alleys.

When it comes time to eat, whether it is a large restaurant or restaurant in a prosperous area, or a small food stall or fly restaurant in the streets and alleys, every place that can be seen by the eyes is full of people.

"Food is the paramount necessity of the people" is vividly reflected in this city.

Although Xiong Zhengtao has submitted his resignation report, he will not be able to go through the resignation procedures so soon.

Chef He Donglai was obviously very dissatisfied with Xiong Zhengtao, not because he resigned, but because he felt that he had already asked to keep him, but Xiong Zhengtao refused directly, which made him feel very humiliated.

Therefore, during these two days, when He Donglai assigned tasks, he deliberately increased his workload.

What he did actually strengthened Xiong Zhengtao's determination to leave Qingshan Restaurant.

The other chefs had already left before 09:30, but Xiong Zhengtao was busy until after ten o'clock at night before he finished his work and greeted a few apprentices who were still busy cleaning the kitchen After that, he dragged his exhausted body back to the place where he lived.

Xiong Zhengtao is not a native of Jiangzhou. After graduating from Zhangjiang Cooking Technology School four years ago, he entered Qingshan Restaurant and started his career as a chef.

When he first entered Qingshan Restaurant, the head chef of the restaurant was not He Donglai.

It was a short, short, fat little old man, whose surname was Liu, who always had a smiling face and was very polite to everyone, even the dishwasher in the kitchen. Have a chat.

Old man Liu is not only good-tempered, but also willing to give advice to his chefs. Every week, he will choose a time to cook a few dishes himself, and explain them patiently while cooking.

During the two or three years old man Liu was there, Xiong Zhengtao's cooking skills improved the most, and it was also the time when he was the happiest in Qingshan Restaurant.

It's a pity that old man Liu suddenly fell ill more than a year ago. After recovering from his illness, he couldn't take it anymore. Moreover, he was getting older, so he couldn't be qualified for the job of head chef anymore. He resigned and went home to recuperate. .

After that, He Donglai came.

He Donglai was completely different from Old Man Liu, which made Xiong Zhengtao very unaccustomed to it. After holding on for more than a year, he finally couldn't hold on anymore.

Anyway, he was a loner in Jiangzhou, he had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry, so he resigned naked, even if he really couldn't get into the Seventh Canteen, he didn't want to work under He Donglai's hands anymore.

He couldn't believe it anymore. Could it be that without Butcher Zhang, he could only eat hairy pigs?
After the exhausted Xiong Zhengtao returned home, he hurried into the bathroom, washed off the smell of vegetables and sweat, changed into clean pajamas, and walked out.

He opened the refrigerator in the corner, took out a bottle of iced drink from it, unscrewed it and drank a few big gulps before letting out a long sigh of relief.

After taking a drink and sitting down on the sofa, he picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and prepared to play a few games.

As soon as he turned on the phone screen, he found that there was an unread message on the phone at some point, and he opened it casually, and he froze there immediately:
"Dear Mr. Xiong Zhengtao: Thank you for your attention to Jiangdaqi canteen! We have received your resume and are pleased to inform you that you have passed the preliminary screening of this canteen. We hereby invite you to come to the interview organized by this canteen. The arrangement is as follows:
Interview time: Saturday, July 7 at 2 am.

Interview location: the first floor of Jiang Daqi canteen.

Contact person: Miss Hua, phone number: 1387917XXXX.

......"

Xiong Zhengtao read it word by word carefully, and read the short interview notification text message three or four times in a row, before he realized that he, he, he, he had already passed the screening of the Seven Canteens and entered the interview stage !
At this moment, an indescribable excitement and joy overflowed from the bottom of his heart, making him almost jump up.

Since he submitted his application resume, Xiong Zhengtao has not relaxed. Whenever he has free time every day, he will log in to the Douyin APP to see if there is any news from the "Jiang Daqi Canteen" account.

What he didn't expect was that the good news came so suddenly!
You know, in the past few days, he has been very nervous in his heart. According to the news he has learned, after the recruitment notice of Jiangda Seven Canteen was published on the Internet, chefs from all over the country are eager to move, wanting to go to Jiangda Seven canteen applicants.

Their purposes are different, but they want to get a glimpse of Boss Xiaojiang's culinary skills, which is undisguised.

It is precisely because of this that many powerful chefs also submitted their resumes uncharacteristically.

This also made Xiong Zhengtao very worried. He didn't have a strong technical background, nor did he have a wealth of experience in the industry. He could only be regarded as mediocre among senior chefs.

Since the recruitment of chefs in Jiang Daqi canteen has attracted so many outstanding chefs, it is hard to say whether he can catch the eyes of Boss Xiaojiang.

Unexpectedly, today, he actually got the qualification for the interview. How could this not make him excited?

Xiong Zhengtao picked up the drink in his hand and took a few big sips. The sweet drink entered his throat from his mouth and went straight into his abdominal cavity. A coolness instantly spread to his limbs and bones, making him calm down all of a sudden.

He couldn't help but took a few deep breaths, and secretly made up his mind:
This time, I must prepare well, and I must not let myself have a chance to regret it!
