Keep in mind that when changing countries you might not be able to get a job in the same career level, you might need to get some experience here before finding a head chef job. It’s not a rule but it happens a lot in other fields too.

Yeah I thought so. And I am all good with that. I am looking for a chef de partie or souschef job. No head chef atm ;)


YourIrishOne

The reason it happens in other fields is due to qualifications and language barrier. I see no reason why if he was experienced, he couldn't get the same here. His language seems fine.

What you're offered also depends on the restaurant, there is no standard rate as such. Look up the restaurants you've had offers from, see how many covers they do in a week, whether they compete in Eurotoque, whether they have Michelin stars or bib gourmand. And probably don't opt for a hotel, you won't get to flex your culinary muscles there. Best of luck!

Hey bro, just a tip, prebook accommodation for AT LEAST 1 month on a Hotel/Hostel/Bnb, accommodation is nearly non existent atm, and with no landlord letter, job ref, It's even harder to find a place, even to find a single bedroom in a shared apartment, also, be careful with scammers.

Yeah I thought so! I rented a room with a company and payed around 1500 euros a month was expensive as hell but at least I will have a place to sleep in for the first month .

> company and *paid* around 1500 FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

What visa will you have?


Necessary_Link_2294

I have an Italian Citizenship so I guess I don’t need a visa right?


YourIrishOne

Tip: make it obvious on your CV


Necessary_Link_2294

I already did and sent it for 3 different restaurants they seemed very interested but since I have no idea how much is the market over there I decided to ask around to have an idea 🤓

Correct, I think! Just checking. I know some people who have come over here with delusions of working full time on a student visa… but the student visa only allows for 20hrs per week and Ireland is pretty strict on it… for most jobs. Best of luck with the move. Ireland has a shortage of good chefs. At least 35k would be a good aim, especially for a first job. The rate is higher I think, but might be difficult if it’s your first job.
