Thinking Food Jobs, April 12, 2024
Hello Readers,
This week’s highlighted job involves going on the road in the Planters Peanuts NUTmobile with the Peanutter Marketing team. Much like the Wienermobile Hotdogger I posted in January, this role is targeted to recent college graduates interested in sales, marketing, PR and related fields. It is also the only other job I can find that involved driving a food-themed vehicle. (You will have to go to a museum if you want to see Hershey’s Kissmobile Cruiser; I wish I could track down the fate of the Spammobile.) Unless you think driving the team of Clydesdales for Anheuser-Busch counts? If that is your dream job I apologize for missing the deadline to apply for this apprenticeship.
If you know of any other oversized-foods-on-wheels that are looking for drivers — or any other thinking-food jobs for the list please let me know.
Now, on to the list. Please note that all positions are for fulltime work unless noted otherwise. A selection of internships is at the bottom of the page.
