Chef Interviews

mymuybueno Chefs Get Personal

The my in mymuybueno is about the personal touch, it not only is part of our name but stands for what we are all about and believe in, that each individual matters.

In mymuybueno Chefs Get Personal, we interview chefs from all walks of life, from rising stars, to those with Michelin Stars, all around the world.

Every fortnight, we ask the very same questions to each chef, to gain an invaluable insight into what makes each individual tick, what influences them, and what in turn, will absolutely inspire you.

We want to share this with you, so you too can apply it to your own life and future as a chef and follow your heart and passion to achieve your own great things both inside and out of the kitchen.

The following agreement is written for Candidate’s advice, guidance and potential employment protection. We ask the Candidate to take time to read the following information and take a look at our draft Seafarers Employment Agreement (SEA), this is available on our website. It encompasses, as far as possible, the yacht’s obligations to you under MLC 2006. There is not a standard document for a SEA, however, the copy displayed here on our website is ideally what you should be looking to obtain in any SEA.

http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20121107103953/http://www.dft.gov.uk/mca/mcga07-home/workingatsea/mcga-healthandsafety/maritime_labour_convention_2006/mcga-ssh-mlc-title2/mcga-ds-ssh-mlc-sea.htm

SEA’s are required to comply with current applicable national laws and regulations and should include any Collective Bargaining Agreement that may apply to them. Together they should not be less favourable than the minimum standards of MLC. MLC gives the Candidate the right of sufficient time to study the content before and after signing a SEA with the Client. Please ensure you also receive a copy of this.

Upon placement on a vessel through the means of recruitment via mymuybueno® Recruitment Ltd a copy of your SEA will be requested to keep on file for future reference.

Below is some more advice. It is recommended that you satisfy yourself of these items at or subsequent to the interview/s with any potential employer. You should be sure that all sections of the SEA are completed and acceptable to you. Where a yacht does not need to comply with MLC or flies the flag of a country which is not ratified MLC, you should ensure you are happy with the conditions offered.

This list shows the flag states who are currently ratified MLC 2006:

MLC provides protection for such matters as the below, this is not an exhaustive list.

It requires Flag States to carry out regular inspections. It sets out responsibilities of yacht owners to the seafarers. It requires documentation to be provided for you, which makes clear the standards of working and living conditions on-board.

mymuybueno® Recruitment Ltd will make sure, as far as practicable, that the Client is financially able to fulfil his obligations to you; you should also try to determine that you are similarly satisfied. You should also determine that you have adequate personal insurance cover provided for you by the Client during the period of your employment.

mymuybueno® Recruitment Ltd will assist next of kin or concerned family members with any advice and guidance they can. This will be at no cost.

It will be documented and as far as possible all efforts will be made to resolve the issue/s.
