  16. Interview 1. What do you dislike the most about your job? The thing that I dislike the most about my job would have to be the long hours and late nights that are spent in the kitchen and not with my family. 2. Did you have to start at a lower position in the kitchen and work your way up to become a cook? Yes, when I first started I was just a dish boy and gradually worked my way up to the position of fry cook by showing good work ethic and motivation in the kitchen. 3. Are you making more now that you are a fry cook rather than a dish boy? Of course, every time you move up a position in the kitchen you are granted a raise for the simple fact that being a fry cook instead of a dish boy involves much more responsibility because you are handling food. 4. What is the next position in the kitchen you are striving for? The next position that I would like to achieve is line cook which involves filling plates and making sure that everything is cook to the customers likings. 5. Overall do you enjoys your job? Yea, its not to bad, I mean I do like to cook but the long hours are a killer sometimes but for the most part once you get accustom to your schedule it is a pretty enjoyable occupation.
