How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Alberton; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Do not leave gaps unexplained; if you did casual banquet work between jobs, say so on your CV.
List your stations (grill, pastry, cold, sauce) under each job; head chefs scan for this first.
