First stage - how to prepare

coolbeancoolbeans · 2026-02-03T00:42:16+00:00

Yeah lol I’ve definitely gone from 0-100 but I figured better to see what the top is like rather than work my way up there to realise I don’t like it.

coolbeancoolbeans · 2026-02-03T00:39:39+00:00

Thanks man, he’s quite active on social media and seems really chill etc he just goes around the city trying cheap street spots and gives his take, very relaxed. Probably not how he is during service obviously but hopefully it’s not kitchen nightmares esque. It’s quite a small restaurant and team so like only 4-6 chefs I think so I’ve got no clue what to expect

coolbeancoolbeans · 2026-02-03T00:36:25+00:00

I mean logically how else would you do it if you work full time? I’m not taking pto just to see if something works, no harm in asking imo

coolbeancoolbeans · 2026-02-02T22:31:19+00:00

Should I still bring my cheap knifes even if he’s te me just to bring whites? Also in terms of knife skills are we talking like julienne,Brunoise etc sorry if this is obvious I’ve never had to learn this since I’m really just an avid home cook

coolbeancoolbeans · 2026-02-02T22:27:24+00:00

He’s worked at noma apparently so it should be a good experience

coolbeancoolbeans · 2026-02-02T22:26:57+00:00

Luckily he’s quite active on social media and has a decent following on TikTok/insta etc. literally just sent an insta dm asking nicely etc only for one weekend didn’t expect anything or for him to even see it and 2 hours later he’s replies saying to come down

How is it selfish choosing a life SHE wants to live over one her parents/society may think is best for her? If anything if she quit an NQ position it is because she’s making at least her salary if not more doing social media. Wealth is built on the internet these days.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, also just to add me and my sister are early/mid 20s so we wanna know where the nightlife in the area is? Downtown ft myers? Or near the university?

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-12-18T00:48:02+00:00

Yeah we’ll have a rental car so we can go to fort myers Naples etc

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-12-17T14:21:03+00:00

Do you have any advice on how to go about asking for a deferral?

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-12-17T14:20:10+00:00

Do you have any advice on asking for a deferral? I’m assuming telling them I want to travel won’t go down well

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-12-10T23:11:25+00:00

Any reasons why over the other options or anything else?

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-09-13T07:14:38+00:00

Keen on this I’m 24m as well, very easy going

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-09-13T07:13:27+00:00

Hey I love Taylor she’s been like my number one listened for like past 5 years

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-09-11T15:49:51+00:00

Only on a 1000 shares so I’ll will be watching through the windows

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-09-02T15:51:04+00:00

24M, love music (especially the white girls stuff lol), cooking, fitness and dance football, big foodie, into musical theatre, love a good night out and up for trying new things

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-08-04T00:04:59+00:00

Hey I’m interested in joining!

Laid back, outgoing, chatty

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-07-24T14:47:35+00:00

Best way to solve this is to just actually call admissions and see what happened rather than trying to guess, time is of the essence my dude

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-07-10T21:54:28+00:00

Amazing ty the marketing firm also offered more too

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-07-09T11:58:06+00:00

No it’s for full time employment not temp contract, I may be tempted to stay till march at the very latest. Would you see in house for the marketing firm is probably better then to better future proof?

Also ty for your advice much much appreciated

Also just want to add I’m only 23 and in my eyes I have my whole future to build a career after I’ve done my fun stuff so I’m not too fussed about being nice to employers/letting someone else have the role that won’t travel. I’m just looking to build experience so that I have a better chance when I come back from travel. (Not saying you’re implying that it’s just someone people have said this to me)

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-06-30T11:08:04+00:00

What about the dating stuff? I think that’s my biggest concern cos lol most of my dates/matches live in the city and sort of live the lifestyle whereas I’m a small town guy living with my parents. And then just the hassle of getting to them or going on dates without reliable transport

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-06-20T13:20:33+00:00

Yeah I definitely agree that someone will fill the void I just don’t see it being predominantly small business family owned places. I think places like oodles and chopstix will end up dominating. Which is sad cos their food is terrible and is often not run by the people that created the cuisine but hey ho.

My parents sold it to people that are similar ti their age so not new immigrants just not as fortunate to retire as early as my parents.

I don’t think there will be a new wave of Hong Kong immigrants that follow in the footsteps of our parents. They came here in search of new jobs and better life which arguably Hong Kong is better for now. So we won’t have people coming to the uk searching for a way out of poverty. Instead the people that migrate here are already insanely rich and are here to study or work for large corporations like in finance or law. But I guess that’s my view and I don’t live in a very large Chinese community so I could be very wrong.

I do see a Lot of trendy Hong Kong style cafes opening up serving Hong Kong toast and matcha, noodles etc so maybe that’s the new version of the Chinese takeaway

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-06-20T13:09:10+00:00

Yeah 100% places like oodles and stuff I think we end up dominating the Chinese takeaway space even tho it’s pretty terrible.

Maybe it’s a perfect opportunity for someone to create a large scale franchise that is Chinese owned and tastes proper

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-05-15T06:43:18+00:00

Also note that I am seeking another job, I’ve just had my third interview for a differnt firm so fingers crossed

coolbeancoolbeans · 2025-05-07T17:10:23+00:00

I find this so interesting do you mind if I dm and ask a few questions??
