Second Interview Questions

I will be interviewing Chef Shane, the executive chef in my ROP class, for my second interview.
Here are some questions I would ask him:

1. What was you experience in the field of a pastry chef prior to teaching here at CAI?
2. How long have you been teaching here and why did you decide to teach?
3. Were there differences of working as a chef and a pastry chef?
4. Did you graduate as a major in culinary and where?
5. Right off the bat, did you know you were going to be a chef?
6. What, for you, is the most important skill to have to becoming a successful chef?
7. Do you have other culinary-related goals than just being a chef instructor?
8. I heard you are strict in the kitchen, based on your prior experiences, does it help when managing your department?
9. Do you have any recommendations that I can follow to become an A student here at CAI?
10. How many students that you had under your wings are you proud of, that you think has been successful in the field?
