Question

You are applying for a position as a chef at a restaurant in another state. The type of restaurant is completely up to you. The restaurant owner tells you that they will interview you via Skype.
You want to be prepared for anything that he may ask, so you decide to do a bit of research prior to the interview. Start by gathering information and putting together the following:
Since you are applying as a chef, pretend you already have five years of experience in the field. Research some professional development opportunities that you as a chef with this amount of experience would have likely taken advantage of in order keep current on relevant trends in the culinary world.
Research any state or national certifications that would be helpful for a chef of your experience to have documented in their resume.
Put together a resume complete with your education and work history (feel free to improvise/make up some of this information as needed).
Create a personal career portfolio that highlights work that is applicable to the job you are applying for. You may look online to find and collect images to pass off as your own for the purposes of this activity. Compile all the images into a word document and assign a title and brief explanation to each.
