Thinking Food Jobs, May 10, 2024
Hello Readers,
Did you know you wanted to work with food when you were a kid? I did. My first job was waiting tables after school at my local Friendly’s, wearing an itchy, blue-and-white checked polyester dress like this one, topped with a white apron that was mysteriously hot-fudge-stain resistant. I would have loved an opportunity more like one of these:
Teen Writer or Social Media Manager, Piece of Cake: A Teen-Led Food Magazine, remote
Young Curator, The Food Museum, Stowmarket, UK
If you know a similarly food-obsessed young person please share the links with them. My teenage self thanks you.
And if thinking about kids and their relationships with food sparks your interest, here are some links for you:
