[email protected] To whom it may concern, During my 35 yearas as a Swiss trained chef, I have involved myself with many di fferent aspects in the culinary field. In Switzerland I progressed from an appre ntice to a Commis de partie, then to a Chef de partie. From this position I then held several positions as a Sous chef which then led to several positions as a Chef de cuisine in Italy, the Bermudas and then in the United States of America where I held positions as Head chef and Executive chef. For the past 19 Years I have been working as a regional Supervising chef in a St eak House chain and a Micro Beer Bar & Grill operation. 14 Years ago I was promoted within the company to the Regional Culinary supervis or of the Office Beer Bar & Grill Division in addition to the position with the steak house operation. Through the use of my professional experience I was able to apply many of my skills in helping the Division to increase their yearly sale s, lowered food cost %, increase bottom line profits, upgraded sanitation standa rds, implemented training manuals/procedures, researched & developed seasonal pr omo items, food styling for upcoming promos at photo studio, conduct promo food shows for both chains, executed 2 menu changes with steak house chain and 3 with the Office division. The most helpful skillas being my culinary experience, linguistic skillas, train ing techniques, organization, PC knowledge and interaction with B. O. H. staff. I want to take my chain experience, culinary skills and privately owned & operat ed restaurant knowledge to a higher level. My goals are to join a national food company, an upscale Multi-Unit food chain operation, an upscale super market ope ration or a hotel chain operation in New Jersey ( North/ Central), New York (Met ropolitan/Suburbs) or Long Island as an executive in their culinary or research & development area.
