Thinking Food Jobs - December 1, 2023
Thank you to the many readers who responded to last week’s survey. Your feedback has been helpful, and I will be keeping your dream jobs in mind when I put together future lists. The survey will be open for a few more days for those who might still wish to respond.
For those who might be curious, most respondents have at least a bachelor’s degree (29%) or master’s degree (45%). About half had some kind of formal culinary training, and those who do not have formal training listed many variations of on-the-job or self-taught experiences. About a third of the respondents are actively looking for employment, and the other two-thirds are keeping an eye open for new opportunities. Remote and hybrid work opportunities are popular with 80%.
The fields of employment that generated the most interest cover a broad range, with non-profit work in Food Systems, work with cultural institutions, and food writing work topping the list.
A number of readers provided feedback on the format of the lists. Some would like to see jobs grouped by state or region, while others prefer to search by type of employment or career level. There is not a clear consensus, but I will give the format some further thought. Finally, several of you pointed out some errors in the links to the job postings. Inserting the links in Substack is tedious, and, as I now know, I am error-prone when hurrying to finish this last step before publishing. While I think it looks less polished, I am pasting in URL’s instead of hyperlinking this week.
If you want to share your thoughts you can comment here, or send me an email at thinkingfoodjobs@gmail.com
