Unlike other jobs, like shoveling dirt or delivering supplies, you'll need some experience to earn a delicious kitchen job. In particular, you need to prove your responsibility to Auntie Seedant, so you'll have to become quite organized. Luckily, if you can meet those credentials, she'll employ you in a fulfilling job that significantly increases empathy and creativity.

What Skills Do I Need To Work In The Kitchen?

Seeq interviews you for a delivery job position at Command in I Was A Teenage Exocolonist.

As Auntie Seedent suggests, the kitchen needs "Someone young. Someone responsible. Someone organized." So, organizing is the primary skill required to become Auntie Seedent's assistant. You'll need twenty organizing points to volunteer for kitchen duties.

Where Can I Build This Skill?

Organizing is a tricky skill to come by when beginning your playthrough. Of all the entry-level activities available, only supply delivery at Command grants organizing points. Therefore, you should apply for a delivery job as soon as possible.

However, to apply for a delivery job, you'll need either Toughness or Organizing stats of ten points or more. So, unless you create a character with inherent organization skills, you'll have to work on your toughness. The quickest way to earn toughness points is by shoveling dirt in Geoponics, which grants three toughness points for your efforts (even more if you win the card challenge).

Once you gain the skills necessary to apply, go to Command and interview with Chief Administrator Seeq. They'll grill you on your qualifications. However, your answer does not seem to affect the interview's outcome. So, you will get the job.

Delivering supplies grants at least two organizing points a month. So you'll have to dedicate some time to this position to gain enough points to access kitchen work.
