I'm looking for a job. I cook. I hope to get a job at a restaurant. I love playing basketball. I have a sister. My mother is a Dentist. I'm not married.
I love to eat. I study ballet. I love contemporary and hip hop dancing. I teach dancing to troubled youth for work. My siblings died. I'm from Somalia. My aunt helped me flee to the United States. I was forced into marriage. I'm divorced.
I got a call back today from the steak house I applied to work at! That's great news! Did they set up a time for an interview? We are still playing phone tag, although it feels promising. Great to have a lead that is interested. I am sure you will wow them on the phone, and they will want to meet you in person! Do you think you might have to cook as part of the interview? Good question, the ad didn't mention this, although they may mention that when we talk. It feels good, feeding people.  I have never been much of a cook, but I have lovely memories of my mom making traditional Somali dishes for me when I was younger. Do you have any recipes that bring back strong memories when you are making them? Mostly the simple, home cooking stuff from my family. Biscuits are a fave, and my mother has a decent roast recipe.  What do you think you would make if that ends up being a part of the interview process? Well, they are a steak house. And they have pretty good ribs. Wonder what their kitchen is built like, if they have good equipment. Is it a fine dining steakhouse? Or more casual? Either way, I'm sure the kitchen will be amazing. They are kind of, reputation wise, somewhere between Sizzlers and Black Angus, which are pretty popular steakhouse chains. They're more home grown though.   I love restaurants that are a bit more homey; although, I have been known to gorge on Sizzler's salad bar! I really hope you get the job. Is cooking your dream? Or  just a "for now" job?
