Hi All,

I found that Cook's Job Desc and Kitchen Helper/Food Counter attendant's Job Desc is somehow a little bit similar.
I worked in the kitchen before. And I did mostly both of the Job Desc. I am scared that CIC officer think that I am just a kitchen helper instead of a cook.
How do I should resolve this problem?
I need an opinion :'(

Cook's Job Desc:
Prepare and cook complete meals or individual dishes and foods
Prepare and cook special meals for patients as instructed by dietitian or chef
Schedule and supervise kitchen helpers
Oversee kitchen operations
Maintain inventory and records of food, supplies and equipment
May set up and oversee buffets
May clean kitchen and work area
May plan menus, determine size of food portions, estimate food requirements and costs, and monitor and order supplies
May hire and train kitchen staff.

Food counter attendants and food preparers perform some or all of the following duties:
Take customers' orders
Clean, peel, slice and trim foodstuffs using manual and electric appliances
Use deep fryer, grill, oven, dispensers and other equipment to prepare fast food items such as sandwiches, hamburgers, fries, salads, ice cream dishes, milkshakes and other beverages
Portion, assemble, and wrap food or place it directly on plates for service to patrons, and package take-out food
Use equipment to prepare hot beverages such as coffee and tea specialties
Serve customers at counters or buffet tables
Stock refrigerators and salad bars and keep records of the quantities of food used
May receive payment for food items purchased.

Nope, Cook and Kitchen Helper "may" have some duties similar, but they are not the same.

When you say you have worked in the kitchen before, what did you work as? If you were a cook then your main job duties should have just been preparing food, followed by overseeing kitchen operations.

Look at the highlighted fields below, those are the main duties of a Cook, the rest is just sub-duties which he / she "may" have to perform as part of the job

Now look at the job descriptions below for Food Preparers, they just prepare fast food items and do cleaning & assembling stuff, while the kitchen helper is just there to clean up and arrange things necessary for cooks and Food preparers
