There are more and more opportunities for Chinese chefs to work overseas, what are the prospects for chefs to work abroad?

1. Age and language

The best age for chefs to go abroad is 25-38 years old. Some well-qualified ones can lower their requirements. Most countries do not have language and education requirements. Some countries, such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and other major immigrant countries, have English or French language requirements. In other countries, chefs have almost no language requirements.

2. Skills and geography

Today, most of the Chinese restaurants around the world are medium-sized and fast-food restaurants. There are no special technical requirements for employers to hire Chinese chefs. The main point is that Chinese food is not authentic but a combination of local flavors. Therefore, employers choose more chefs with personality and hardworking qualities and learn cooking techniques.

3. Health and Documentation

Chefs working abroad must ensure their health in order to successfully perform the physical labor required for a chef's job. There are many documents that you need to show to prove your identity when you go abroad, such as your ID card, family register, and proof of employment. Various documents and proof of work are also required, such as employment contracts, international health certificates, passports and visas. In addition to the chef's accreditation certificate, many countries also require a technician's certificate. It is as important as the chef certificate. Chefs with a technician certificate are also paid more. Chefs who are about to leave the country should find out in advance and make sure they get the appropriate certificate.

4. Costs and fees

The easiest and safest way to go abroad is through a legitimate labor company. The cheapest or free way is to get recommendations from friends and relatives who have already left the country. This method is limited to your closest and best friends. It is unlikely that such an opportunity will be available to everyone.

5. Adapting to the group

In general, the first year salary for a chef abroad is between 8,000 and 12,000 after taxes. Some special employers will exceed these standards. The countries with the highest income are Australia, Canada and New Zealand, but these countries have strict requirements and high thresholds, and even if the conditions are good in all aspects, the possibility of being rejected is also very high. Therefore, the most suitable group for chefs to go abroad is the group whose standard domestic salary is around 3000-5000. In the case of 6000 or more, if the basic purpose is to go abroad to make money, I think it is better to develop at home.

These people want to improve their language skills by working abroad. Regardless of any of these goals, you still need to make money in the end.
