HOW TO BECOME A FREELANCE WORKER
There are several ways that you can become a freelance chef. You could work on a yacht, ski resorts, private chef for a family, or work as a traveling chef in Hotels, restaurants, schools, or care homes. The list is endless! To be a freelance chef you will need to gain a good few years experience and have a passion for the kitchen. You will also need some drive to get your name out in the industry. When I worked as a freelance chef I earned more money than ever before and very often didn’t need to work weekends, and took holidays when I wanted and never had to ask the boss, because I was the boss!!
WHY SHOULD YOU BECOME FREELANCE?
There a well-documented shortage of chefs and the problem for employers is going to become more difficult since the UK has left the EU. This is why all of the good chefs are becoming freelance chefs, and the demand is skyrocketing. Freelance is a very lucrative option for good chefs for the following reasons:
✔ Choose your own hours.
✔ Improved work/life balance.
✔ Get paid for every hour you work.
✔ Earn more money.
✔ Take holiday when you want.
✔ Experience variation of work.
