"I was a stay-at-home mum who had been out of the workforce for 26 years. I have always had a passion for food but my experience was limited to being a home cook. I chose The Gordon because I could study on-campus and gain a qualification to become a qualified chef. Going back to study was so much fun because I had the desire and the passion to succeed. The facilities were fantastic, teachers were all very experienced, and I loved learning something new every day.
I am currently employed as a chef at the Flying Brick Cider House after undertaking work placement during my studies, and I continue to learn about new foods and techniques every day.
As a chef, you have to be passionate about food, be prepared to take criticism, work hard and long hours, and most importantly be a team player. But the rewards are great. This is my dream job.”
