Career: Cook

A cook is a professional who works in the kitchen of a restaurant, hotel, hospital, or living facility. Most employers in this industry have requirements for the appearance and attire, and some provide uniforms. Requirements may include a clean chef’s coat and apron, work pants, comfortable and safe work shoes, and a head covering (hairnet or hat). There are also health and safety regulations in each state that may include things like a mandate that food handlers wear a hairnet and rubber gloves or keep short clean fingernails.
