The Chef de Cuisine is responsible to manage the assign nice link NAE .good to know ....thanks
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted For a vacancy like the one in the Grand Hyatt Cairo competition is very high, many people apply and the hotel will only select the best candidate. I am not saying it's impossible but you gotta stay realistic. Then again, I chatted up with the manager of the 4*hotel I stayed in this summer. He came to Egypt as a cook in the middle of the 90's and is now General Manager of the hotel for several years. So good luck!!!
Michaelrazor Member # 17181	posted Tigerlily, you are right about the competition i have applied for intercontinental in cairo once before and also the competition is very high as well as big names it is not easy getting in, i mean even though i have worked in michelin establishment and a 5 star hotel and have 3 awards and still i cant get through. i have done few jobs in egypt before but it is a complete diferent environment in egypt i have to say. quality products versus prices... anyway... i was in hurghada and sharm last year for one week during then i looked at the amount of hotels and resorts that will open soon.. my god there are loads of them i mean seriously this is amazing but i am a fool.... i havent wrote down a single name of the company that holds this place. If any one knows of few new opening soon hotels or resorts in sharm and hurghada please forward me a list of names or a name lol i be very happy thanks to all of you for your great support keep it up i might get a job by then
Chef Mick Member # 11209	posted just a thought Micheal...maybe we can open our own restaurant in hurghada..not to far to travel from my families home 45 min drive we could call it M&M's
Michaelrazor Member # 17181	posted OH this is for all of you to laugh a bit when i was in hurghada and shaorm last year just took a tour around... i came across a nice place to sit down and have a beer near marina so, i sat down and ordered a beer, the waiter who gardly speak english properly told me, "i have can and bottle, which you like" exactly like that. i told him what teh difference, he did not get it, so i said waht is the price of can and bottle he tells me that both are 24 EGP ???????????? a lot of questionmarks striked me at once.. how come a can that is 330 ml be sold for 24 and the bottle which is i guess 770 ml or cl be sold for also 24? he tells me in a very clever smart reply... "because the can sir is imported while the bottle is produced here in egypt" ????? ahaaaaaaaaa i replied and told him thanks for your thoughtful insight on this matter but i will take the bottle then hahahahahaha
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Well at least he was being honest and you got the better deal. I hope you gave him a good tip!!
Michaelrazor Member # 17181	posted well i am sure he was honest but the thought of having 2 completely different sized beverage both at same price is kind of weird and doesnt make sense, but in egypt i found that a lot of stuff doesnt make sense either lol anyway i hope i get a job in egypt soon especially if it is a restaurant since i am fond of cooking ala carte' it gives me great pride than cooking buffets for mass munching
Chef Mick Member # 11209	posted got your pm ...sent one back
Michaelrazor Member # 17181	posted i was also wondering since i have a master degree in hospitality business and i was a chef and have been here and there around teh world i might be good at working for a hospitality development companies there? if there is such thing in egypt as hospitality development companies specialized in providing consultancy and further development to the catering industry.
Chef Mick Member # 11209	posted sounds like you could work anywhere in egypt...someone had told me that they like foreigners working for them
Cheekyferret Member # 15263	posted Michael.. look out for jobs at the new terminal... not sure if airline catering is your thing but I do know there will be good jobs going. The chap I know looking for work does not do hotel work and has gone for jobs there this week... he used to be high up in EA so ISA he will get lucky.
