Hello,
I've just completed a contract in the Caribbean and currently considering coming back to SE Asia in early January. I am a well rounded American executive private chef and consultant with nearly 20 years in the industry. Many of those years have been spent traveling, studying and working around the world so I have an impressive international repertoire and a variety of skills. In 2012 I spent most of the year traveling all over SE Asia so my cooking has a distinct Asian style with some Mexican, Jamaican and American gastropub mixed in.
I had the pleasure of spending a month in Indonesia and absolutely loved everything about the culture. It would be fantastic to pick up a seasonal contract if there are opportunities for a Chef such as myself. So I have a few questions:
Could anyone tell me what the demand is for Western Chefs in Bali at the moment?
Would Bali be only place I could potentially find work or do island resorts hire western chefs?
What are the chances of turning up without having a job lined up and finding work?
Are Chef's work visas usually sponsored by their company?
What is the average pay for an executive chef?
Is there any demand for high end live-in private chefs?
Please have a look at my website and if you would like a copy of my CV or would like to discuss any available positions you might know of please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
John Torsch
