Gustavo Martinez Araújo De Menezes
London,Ontario
Summary
Former micro-entrepreneur previously working as an administrative manager in a beverage store in the city of Belo Horizonte - MG/Brazil, outside the gastronomic area since I ended my last contract with Norwegian Cruise Lines company in June/2020 due to the covid-19 situation. Now with the gastronomic sector returning to normal, I want to have the opportunity to return to the work I love to do the most, which is cooking, and continue learning and contributing to this sector that is so culturally and economically important to the world. I am currently in London - ON. I am looking for a JOB OFFER that can provide me with an LMIA to establish myself in Canada as I will not be interested in returning to work in my home country due to the economic crisis and the food segment does not pay what the category deserves. I want to continue having experiences in other countries and getting to know new cultures, cuisines, and chefs. A professional goal I have as an objective is to work in the area of gastronomy, seeking to expand my learning with day-to-day experiences. I intend to dedicate myself to the maximum to achieve professional excellence and highlight in an extremely important sector of the economy
