How do I get help writing my CV or bio?

We have a free blog checklist and a pro service that handles it all for you.

Can I work as a freelance or relief chef through the site?

What if I don’t hear back from an employer?

Every employer is different. Some may be considering a quiet replacement for someone already on staff. Many prefer to hire privately. Be patient, follow up, and stay proactive.

Will I get spammed with emails or notifications?

No. We aim to be useful—not annoying. Spam fritters are tasty, but spam notifications suck.

We’ve got blogs and experienced pros. If you’re stuck, just reach out—we’ll help.
