I recently applied for the role of Apprentice chef within the RFA. I'm now wondering when the sift will be or when I might possibly hear back about the role. I have previously applied for the apprentice engineering role and not been successful. I'm studying HNC Engineering fabrication at college the now but also working in a commercial kitchen part-time and I'm enjoying it I spoke to a member of the recruitment staff when doing my last application and they indicated that the chef role has a much lower amount of applications than the engineering role.
