I've decided it's time to get into a kitchen and really begin to learn how it's done for real. Besides I miss it. My problem is how do I approach the perspective employer about my skill level or rather lack there of. Mainly because the school I'm going to focuses more on the management side rather then culinary. I want to learn and am willing to do anything and work as much overtime as needed as long as I can get my classes in.
I plan on hitting the hotels for the overall experiance I can get with one. I wanna learn as much as I can and stay in the same place until I'm done with school.
Thoughts or Ideas?

Congrats, Flattop! Which scholarship is it? (He said, with his schoarship applications laid out before him)
I'm actually in the same boat. I have one advantage (I think), that I need to work somewhere this somewhere for externship, and I have the option of the school making the contact for me. But I think it'd be better if I made the call myself. Now, what to say ...

It's a departmental scholarship within the HMTA department here at Metro State. We do a lot of functions and such to raise the funds needed for scholarships and things for the department. I haven't yet applied for any other scholarships due to the fact that many require more time within the industry then I have.Time to do some more research into them I guess. I suppose this is a good sign that I may get the full ride scolarship for next year(covers tuiton only)If I hold up the GPA 3.86 for the semester and a 3.33 overall.
As for an externship we are only required to put in 1500hrs of industry work before graduation, as well type 35wpm and 1 year of a second langauge. I can get an intership but think I'd rather just be a paid flunky instead of a culinary intern.

Thank's I'm already using fastweb, most of it is crap. I get a few to apply for through it. Every little bit helps. I just need to start applying for the damn things. I never applied before because I always viewed it as a waste of time.....I guess it's not.
