Job Description:
Hello,
My name is Gerard, the OASIS Butler. I’m writing you this letter from my small, windowless, office because my employers are looking to hire a Confectionary Chef to join our growing team here in Los Angeles, CA.
As a Confectionary Chef you’ll be responsible for the kitchen staff and cooking procedures to successfully create consistent, safe, quality product. Communication, attention to detail, and time management are critical to the success of our Kitchen and to the continued success of our operation. This position is responsible for navigating day to day operations producing products.
This position will work closely with the Head Confectionary Chef and other kitchen team members to ensure workflow meets the necessary specifications and kitchen equipment is cleaned and maintained regularly. This position will report to the Head Confectionary Chef.
My amazing employers have also told me (like I have a choice!) to tell you that we’re not your average cannabis company. We’re fiercely independent and anti-corporate cannabis. A group of passionate people working hard to make and do things the right way. That’s putting people and the plant first.
I look forward to meeting you!
Kind Regards,
Gerard.
