/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Skills dont lie. They will know immediately and you will be up shit creek.

You are best off telling them that you have kitchen experience but you want to start in prep or pantry until you get up to speed.

After that, dont make mistakes twice, get the wax out of your ears and run your ass off to show them you are willing.

Most kitchens put hard worker and reliability over bling knife skillz and knowing all the lingo.

>Tl;dr you done fucked up son now fix it

Why'd you get fired?

It's a really shit story. I got a better job than I had, so I put in my two weeks at the job I currently had.. then, I didn't go the last three days because I figured I'd never see these people again, but then my manager CALLED my other job and told them and talked a bunch of shit about me and so I lost the job I quit the first job for.

>>6256064

Yep that's pretty much what I figure is going to happen, thanks for the dose of realism

>>6256118

>preheat oven to 350 degrees
>put your head in the oven

wa la

Don't bs. tell the truth and shame the devil. As an employer I'd rather the whole bitter truth than a lie. Everyone messes up, Me included. Just don't lie. lost a good job that way. Don't lie. It will surely catch up. just be yourself. might be good enough.Probably pretty good.don't lie.My Dad(28 year cop ) tought me.I can forgive anything but a lie. It means you don't trust me, or others. ti's tough, always tough. if it was easy, everyone would do it..

>lies about experience to get interviews
>goes to interview
>"I lied to get this interview"


no, probably not the best plan, in my opinion

>>6256118

Since you didn't go to the last three days of your other job, I think you'd be quite familiar and comfortable with not going to the interview

>>6256118

Anything short of saying "yes he worked here during X time" is extremely dumb on the employers part because they can and do get sued bad for commenting about performance. They can say you got fired or let go but outside of that it's a law suit waiting to happen. Why this is I don't know but there's a good chance you could sue the hell out of them for doing that.

>>6255835

A lot depends on the restaurant and what they want you to do. You could get lucky and just have to prep and make some easy shit or they might want you to do more advanced techniques in which case you're fucked in the short term.

lol OP tried the two people on 420chan's /nom/ for help with his lies

>telling your old employer where you will be working

What a fucking idiot.

>>6256268
Employers aren't allowed to comment on performance? Then what's the point of a reference?

>>6256456
>Employers aren't allowed to comment on performance?
THIS IS WHAT SHITTY EMPLOYEES ACTUALLY BELIEVE

>>6256456

They are but if what they say stuff that is damaging they can be sued for it. Like I said I don't know why this is exactly but I've had multiple employers and HR departments tell me this. 1 company had a policy that normal employees could not comment about a former employee when asked and had to transfer the person asking to the HR dept where they would just say 'yes he/she worked here at that position for X time' and nothing more.

Small companies tend to worry less and might comment negatively but most large companies have strict policies against anything more than confirming/denying the persons position and time.

>>6256537
they can also say if the employee would be rehired

if you call another employer to update that from yes to no people aren't fucking stupid and realize that the subject is a fuckup

I did a little research and if they say negative stuff that can't be backed up then they can be sued for libel/slander. If it's true then it's fair game. So if they say 'he worked here but was frequently late' and they can show you punched in late 1/3 of the time there then it's fair game. But if you were a model employee the entire time and just bailed a few days early on your 2 week notice and they say 'he was a shit employee and a real piece of shit' then that's a potential suit.

The reason most large companies have strict policies commenting on former employees is because they don't even want to risk a suit.

2 week notices are a courtesy also, not required, so your former employer really was a piece of shit to do that.
