Check out some stories where they share their challenges and experiences in the job market
Solionara Santos, 31, better known as Sol, has been working for seven months as a sushiwoman for the Vitória-ES unit of Home Sushi Home, a delivery chain specializing in Oriental and Hawaiian food.
The Japanese culinary specialist began her career in 2014, after applying to help in the kitchen at a restaurant where she already worked as a cashier.
“Once there were two people missing to help in the kitchen and I said I could help that day, because I thought the dishes were beautiful and I really wanted to learn. The sushiman guided me, showing me what to do and little by little I learned. And over time I started making the dishes myself,” she recalls.
Men put sushiwoman to clean fish
In a male-dominated profession, Sol comments on the difficulties he faced in establishing himself in the area.
“I have suffered many prejudices from men, who always only made me ‘clean’ the prawns and fish, without allowing me to assemble the dishes in the kitchen”, reveals the professional.
Despite all this situation, Solionara has improved and continues to build her career as a sushiwoman: “Everything I have achieved has been through my work and, therefore, I want to be more and more a better sushiwoman, so that I can pave the way other women also get here,” she says.
Pizza maker at 62 years old
Pizza maker Rosangela Carvalho, 62, began her profession in 2011, after spending a few years working on her own, also in the food sector. The pro she claims to have gone through difficulties early in her career, that she is considered to be predominantly male.
“The obstacles started when I went to take a pizza maker course. There were many men and they didn’t accept that we, women, did the work of kneading and rolling out the dough, for example. They preferred us to slice the ingredients,” she recalls.
When she started working, Rosangela says one man even left the restaurant because he didn’t accept women in the kitchen. Despite this, she didn’t give up and it was through this profession that she was able to support her son at university, buy a motorbike and much more.
“It is in this area that I have fulfilled my dreams, I have managed to renovate my apartment, send my son to university, buy my motorbike and acquire everything I need. Today I have my financial independence. This is enough for me and I don’t need anything else ”, she concludes that, even in retirement, she wants to stay in the profession for a long time.
