Tips For Starting a Career in Food
12. Tips For Starting a Career in Food
In this episode we take ourselves back to the beginning of our careers in the food industry. If you are just starting out in the industry and are not sure where to begin then this is the perfect listen for you. If you want to support others starting out, it’s also worth a listen.
Lucy opens up about her leap from the Midlands, having grown up and attended Uni there to landing her first job working in a concept development role in Lincolnshire to next discussing her first hiccups at Sainsbury’s in retail. Whilst I share my different path of a placement year in New Zealand in a Catering business before moving into a technical role after university and ending up working across a multitude of functions in my career.
We take you under our wing and share tips on how you might want to explore different areas of the business, from a retail, commercial and manufacturing point of view, to get an idea of the elusive “bigger picture” from the start. Plus a small list of things we wished we had done when we first started, all so you can have the very best start to diving deep into your new career in food!
