Why do I have to sign-in?
- We know it’s a pain, but we’d like to get to know you. Rest assured that we don’t give your information to any third parties, and we appreciate your time and effort. If you’re nervous, read our privacy policy.
How do I register?
- Click the red “sign in/join” button on the top right corner of the screen. It will guide you through the short, painless process of becoming our neighbor.
Why can’t I sign-in?
- That’s peculiar! Drop us a line at help@goodfoodjobs.com and we’ll assist you ASAP.
Can I post my resume?
- Stop trying to clutter up our site! Each job posting provides information for how to contact companies directly, if you'd like to share your resume. We feel that this encourages interaction and communication. Don’t be shy! They’re waiting to hear from you.
I love your website and your mission. Can I work for Good Food Jobs?
- We love you, too. And we appreciate the support. We’re still a growing company and don’t have any paid positions available at the moment. But keep your eyes peeled, because as soon we do, they’ll be posted front and center at goodfoodjobs.com.
I signed up and applied to job postings, but I’m still unemployed. Help.
- We know it’s tough out there! That’s why we created this website in the first place. It may take some time, but don’t give up. New postings are arriving every day. If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to reach out to info@goodfoodjobs.com. We promise there are real people there (just two of us) waiting to give you some one-on-one support.
What's the deal with these email alerts, anyway?
What are Email alerts?
When you’re searching for the perfect position, it's easy to get anxious about missing it, so we've set up a safety net just for you. Set your search criteria, click on the arrow to get your search results, and then press the GET EMAIL ALERTS button (hopefully we’ve designed it so that you can’t miss it, but if you’re lost, let us know). It only takes a few clicks to guarantee that your dream job won’t pass you by. What are you waiting for? Start searching!
How often will I receive email alerts?
No more than once a day, and only then if new jobs posted within a 24 hour period match your special search criteria. Free advice: keep in mind that broader searches will yield more frequent results, while more obscure search criteria might have you hearing from us only once in a while.
Can I save my searches?
We’re so glad you asked. As a matter of fact, you can. When you sign up for an email alert it will automatically save your search under your MY ACCOUNT page. You have the flexibility to manage your alerts by heading into MY ACCOUNT and clicking on the EMAIL ALERT tab, where you can exercise your rights to turn your email alerts on and off, delete your saved searches, or simply click on the search to retrieve the most up-to-date results to your query.
Can I save more than once search?
We’re not stingy on storage - save as many as you like. But just remember that for each email alert you set up, you will receive a separate email. If you find your inbox cluttered (lucky you!) simply turn the email alerts on and off as you please (see above for instructions on how to access your saved searches).
I changed my mind! How can I change my search criteria?
Decision-making is tough. We understand. While you can’t alter the saved searches from your MY ACCOUNT page, you can simply delete the unwanted search and start a new one from scratch. It's fast and easy, unlike choosing between ice cream flavors…
I found a job! I don’t need my saved searches anymore.
Congratulations! Celebrate by deleting your search in MY ACCOUNT, under the EMAIL ALERTS tab - just click the "X" in the top right corner of each individual search title. What a satisfying experience.
How much does it cost to post a job?
- $60 for 60 days.
Why isn’t it free?
- We've done a lot of work to customize this site to your necessity and desire, and we sweat continually to spread the word far and wide to the most qualified applicants in and out of the food world. Your purchase of a job post pays for these special services, and we pledge to provide value through excellent design, function and customer service. If you don’t have a pleasant time here, we’ll eat our words.
How do I pay for my post?
- By credit card only. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
Do you offer discounts if I post multiple jobs?
- We don't currently offer a group rate, but stay tuned, as we may do so in the future. So don’t be shy - the more jobs you post, the more reason we’ll have to develop this feature ASAP.
Do you offer discounts for schools, non-profits, farms, and small food businesses?
- As a matter of fact, we do! We don’t have an advertised discount rate, but drop us a line and tell us about your organization so that we can craft a special discount rate just for you.
Can I post unpaid internships, temporary positions, one-time events, and other idiosyncratic opportunities?
- We love variety. If you’ve got it, we’ll post it (provided it complies with our editorial policy.)
Why isn’t my job posting published automatically?
- Sorry for the delay! As it states in the terms & conditions you agreed to before posting the job, we review and approve every single posting in order to ensure quality and compliance with Good Food Jobs’ editorial policy. It’s a lot of work, but we’ll do what it takes to ensure the best possible job search experience for our users.
Can I edit my post after it’s been published?
- Yes, indeed. Access your posts through the MY ACCOUNT button on the top right side of your screen. Don't see MY ACCOUNT? It's probably because you aren't signed in, or have not yet created a job posting. Once we know it's you, we'll let you access the MY ACCOUNT button.
Can I upload a standard application form?
- Absolutely. Select the option to upload a PDF with your job description on the Post a Job page (right under the Job Description box).
Can I re-post a job description that I used in the past?
- You sure can. Visit MY ACCOUNT and go to the “job postings” tab. Click on the ‘Re-post’ button next to the previous job posting that you want to revive.
What kind of response to my job posting should I anticipate?
- More than 34569 users are registered with Good Food Jobs. We target job seekers with passion, integrity, and a desire to enact positive change. If you don’t find the right candidate through Good Food Jobs, we encourage you to try again.
What happens if my listing expires and I haven’t found the right person yet?
- Trust us: they’re out there. We hear from them every day. It could be the wrong timing or your job description may need a little tweaking. Either way, we invite you to re-post the job in MY ACCOUNT under the “job postings” tab.
I got such great responses that I filled the job immediately. How can I remove my posting?
- Yippee! You can remove your post at any time in MY ACCOUNT under the “job postings” tab.
You guys aren’t as great as you think you are. Can I get a refund?
- Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Please fill out and submit the information below to receive an immediate refund.
Your website is beautiful! Who did your graphic design?
- Why thank you. We’re glad you like it. Visit our beautiful and talented graphic designer, Angie Chan, and don’t forget to tell her we sent you.
Your website functions so well! Who built the site for you?
- How do you know we’re not technologically savvy enough to build this ourselves? Ok, you’re right – we know nothing about HTML coding. The functionality/programming of our site is thanks to the talented folks at Webinhabit. Go ahead – let them know that you love them.
Your videos are brilliant. Did you make those yourself?
- Oh stop. We're blushing. But we can't take credit. We are forever indebted to David Weinstein and the crew at East Pleasant for their work. They are genius.
Why aren't there any ads?
- We’re trying to keep things uncluttered and uncomplicated. Good Food Jobs has a focused mission, and our two-person team is busy enough trying to find the best applicants and the best opportunities out there. Think of it as our nod to the great state of Vermont, which refuses to allow billboards on its highways.
HELP! Your site isn't working. Who can I call?
- We apologize for any technical glitches, which are an unfortunate component of web-based business. But we're here to help!
Since we're often on the road in search of good food jobs, email is the best way to reach us - and we always respond personally within 24 hours. Contact us at help@goodfoodjobs.com and we'll get right back to you.
What's this 'LIVE CHAT' all about?
- What is a LIVE CHAT, anyway?
Consider it an interactive version of our blog, where YOU get to ask the questions. Once every two weeks or so we'll secure a food professional to be at the ready to answer any / all of your questions.
Okay, I submitted my question . . . now what?
Thanks for participating. Check out our question counter to see how many are in the queue. Please forgive the delay. We're busy working on them on a first entered / first answered basis. Stay tuned, as yours should be published soon!
The hour is up and I STILL don't see my question answered. Where is it already?
Sit tight. We are hard at work trying to answer as many as we can. We may even publish more answers in the days to come if there were a ton of great ones. Also keep in mind that if we get multiple questions on the same topic, we will likely only pick one representative question to answer. That way we can cover the most ground in the short time that we have.
I'm trying to type in a question, but it's not working . . .
Is the chat active? You will only be allowed to type in questions for a designated period of time. Make sure the big red 'ON THE AIR' stamp indicates that the chat is live. If not, then either a) write down your burning questions and save them for the designated chat time slot, or b) check out the recap; someone may have submitted a similar question! If the chat is indeed active and you are still having problems, write us at help@goodfoodjobs.com; we want to know what's happening.
Shoot, I missed it.
Don't worry, we have archived all of the answers. Check 'em out and set your alarm for the next LIVE CHAT.
I can't make the next LIVE CHAT, but you're interviewing my idol. Any chance I can send you my question in advance?
Sure! We can't make any promises, but email us at info@goodfoodjobs.com and we'll see if we can get it in there.
I keep pressing on LIVE CHAT, but there is no pop up window to talk to a representative for Good Food Jobs. What gives?
As mentioned above, our LIVE CHAT is a scheduled event, where we link you up with seasoned food professionals. It's not a web help branch of our site. If you need assistance, you can always find us at help@goodfoodjobs.com.
I want to keep track of jobs that I like! How do I follow them?
Where do I start?
At the beginning, of course. Click on any individual job link, from the home page, or the ‘find a job’ page, and notice the bright white flag on the top right corner of the job. When you click on that flag, the job is automatically placed in your list, which you can access under My Account.
What if a job I am following expires or is filled?
When you visit My Account, you’ll see that some key information about each job you follow is visible, including the date it was posted and its status – active, filled, or expired. This is a handy way for you to keep track of any jobs that you were thinking of applying to that are no longer available, so you don’t waste precious time. To remove a job you’re no longer interested in from the list, simply click the little white ‘x’ button on the right side of each job in the list. If you clicked too quickly, you’ll get the chance to change your mind in the pop-up window that appears.
Can I stop following a job?
Absolutely. Simply go to My Account and click the little white ‘x’ button on the right side of each job in your list. If you clicked too quickly, you’ll get the chance to change your mind in the pop-up window that appears.
Why would I want to follow a job, anyway?
If you don’t have a penchant for stalking, consider these other useful reasons to ‘follow’: job seekers can ‘follow’ any jobs that they have submitted applications for, and use the list as a reference when following up with employers; job posters can ‘follow’ a job listing that they think is well-written, and reference it later when they are creating their own new job posts.
