Talking about a negative experiences during the interview.
We have a wealth of experience working with our clients and there is probably very little that you can tell us which will be surprising. We know that part time chef jobs can be demanding.

Employers hate last minute changes. Any questions which you have about a part time chef job must be asked during the interview and before your CV is submitted to the client. When applying for part time chef jobs, what the employer and the agency will be concerned about is what will happen if you are offered a full time job somewhere else. Will you leave immediately or will you give in your formal notice?
Some candidates change their mind at the last minute which puts both the employer and the agency in a difficult situation. Changing your mind at the last minute will never be looked at in a positive way and therefore it is paramount that candidates find out all the information that they can before the agency submits their CV.
