I think that taking part
in this competition will definitely advance my
career because it's a good thing to have on your
CV, especially if you win,
and of course I've made a lot of
connections today as well which hopefully
I'll try and keep in touch with.
It's going to help me with careers.
It's a stepping stone, it's a stepping
stone for even getting into university.
It's a very tough competition
and to get this far is
definitely amazing.
It's a difference understanding
there's less working knowledge but at the same time,
there's a lot more theoretical
knowledge with some of the other competitors.
Myself, I'm completely on the
job trend and so
have never had that theoretical side
so it's interesting
to see how people approach things in different
ways with those different backgrounds.
People within this competition
push themselves, they're dedicated
to what they do and they strive to be the best,
and I think everyone
within the competition
will aim to be the best
and that's what makes them stand out from everyone else.
It's really great
taking part in such a big event
and such a great competition which could lead
to being really recognised in your industry.
The sort of people who
enter these competitions,
for me it says that they're driven and
they're driven individuals,
they're committed to
a goal and they
want to achieve the best.
I definitely think it will help my career.
It'll definitely, like, because it'll look good
so it'll help me get better jobs
hopefully, and I'll definitely make a difference
in my career.
Confidence is a big thing
in the kitchen, I think, because
not that long ago I was really quite self conscious
with everything that went on,
so its definitely picking up my confidence,
these competitions, which is really good, and having
the confidence in the kitchen definitely
helps you get on better and work a lot better.
It is a great experience
and even if you don't win, the journey
is just fantastic and you learn a lot,
not only skills but you learn a lot about
yourself as well.
Where else within the UK that you can
get this, it's a stepping stone
and it's going to be a stepping stone for your career,
it's going to be a stepping stone for university,
for any opportunities,
and it's definitely an opportunity not to be missed.
