Questions
Chef or cook jobs abroad — your questions.
Anything else? Message us on WhatsApp or call the New Delhi office during working hours.
WhatsApp usWhat is camp catering?
Cooking for a workforce living on a project or industrial camp — high volume, fixed menus, and a stable roster. It is the largest single source of catering vacancies in the Gulf and suits cooks who want steady hours.
Do I need a hotel-management degree?
No. Grade is decided by the cooking test and your experience. A qualification helps for hotel and restaurant chains that grade by qualification, and for supervisory roles.
How do I apply for a chef or cook job abroad?
Upload your CV on this website — it is free and takes a few minutes. Our team screens it against the demand letters we are working on, and calls you when there is a match. You then attend the interview or trade test, complete the medical, and we file the visa and, for ECR passports going to Gulf countries, the emigration clearance.
What should my CV show for a chef or cook vacancy?
Your trade stated plainly, the years of experience, the specific equipment or systems you worked on, and the names of the employers with dates. Attach your experience certificates and any trade certificate. Vague CVs get skipped — employers shortlist on specifics.
Do you charge candidates a fee?
Registration and CV upload are free. As a licensed Recruiting Agent we may charge a service fee of up to forty-five days’ wages once you are selected, against a receipt. Nobody at Galaxy Enterprises will ask you for cash without a receipt — if that happens, report it to us directly.
