Some time ago there was apparently a great demand for German cooks in the UK, in Australia and Canada.
Yet some years ago when I worked in an International call centre I met many chefs who had returned from these countries. Instead of cooking abroad they worked for less money on the phone for an English helpline (in Germany that's called a "Hotline" ) and tried to earn additional money by doing translations for all kinds of companies...
Recently I was told that in London's hotels there are no German cooks anymore. Instead there are Australian cooks.
What does that mean? Does it mean anything at all? Are German cooks no longer as appreciated as they were once?
All I know for sure is that nowadays German cooks who decide to emigrate usually go to Austria or Switzerland although especially in Switzerland there is already a huge xenophobia towards Germans...
