Finding a live-in job
Question
I have been asked by some Italian friends how their son can find a live-in job in London. The young man is 23 years old and spent five years at an Italian catering school, where he studied all aspects of catering and then specialised as a cook. During his studies he did some work as a chef and did work experience in Germany. In the summer he worked as a chef for six months in a hotel restaurant.
I have telephoned an agency in London who, without asking his qualifications, said he should come to London and approach hotels directly. With rents so high in London and there being thousands of hotels, this could be a very expensive way to find live-in employment. Can you kindly advise on his best route?
