Good Food Jobs is a gastro-job search tool, designed to link people looking for meaningful food work with the businesses that need their energy, enthusiasm, and intellect. We post opportunities with farmers and food artisans, policy makers and purveyors, retailers and restaurateurs, economists, ecologists, and more.
ON THE WEB
Our job search engine is a work in progress. Check out these and other web developments on goodfoodjobs.com :

NICE THINGS PEOPLE SAY
This newsletter really resonated with me because while I have taken some small steps in these few years, I think the fear you mentioned of not doing something impressive right away has paralyzed me into not doing much beyond it. I do feel good about my small steps, but I'm still in the limbo of wondering whether the food world could become a career or if it will just stick around as a hobby. Either way, your words are always comforting and positively thought-provoking.
- Claire, Newsletter Reader
I love your site and the service you provide. You are the only site out there truly offering good food jobs for all.
- Shaleen, Job Seeker
We are so pleased to be of service.

Hey, you! Yeah, you - the one reading this email. The one that religiously opens your GFJ newsletter and loves Tuesday mornings just because you get to hear the latest and greatest Good Food Jobs that are out there. We've got something important to say.
We are more than just marketing.
But Gmail doesn't seem to think so. Under their new tabbed layout, they put us directly in your Promotions folder. If you think of us as friends, rather than a soul-less business trying to sell you stuff, then feel free to drag one of our newsletters into your Primary account. That way you'll be sure never to miss us.
Because each and every week we are writing to you. And we love it when you reply, too. Good Food Jobs is more than just a job search engine; we are a community of people that have come together over a shared interest in changing the world for the better through food. We're happy to know you. And we hope that you feel the same.
And speaking of our real community, doing real things, and eating real food, check out the latest winner of our GFJ Instagram Challenge. They won over the hearts, minds, and mouths of the online world with their shot of soon-to-be-devoured ice cream below.
Congratulations to rebel_milk, whose rainbow speckled waffle cone garnered the most likes. We can't wait to send a batch of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams to your doorstep. (PSSST: Jeni's is running a #GetSlow photo contest of their own. They are seeking out votes for the best photo / caption for how folks 'get slow'. Needless to say, there is lots of inspiration. If Taylor has any chance of winning some ice cream, she'll need to rack up more votes than the current leader at 200. Think she can do it?)
Alas, we are not monogamous when it comes to cones. Here are some of our other favorites from this month's Challenge.
Yours in ice cream,
Taylor & Dorothy

The refrain of 'get your foot in the door' sounds trite, like so much of the standard job searching advice that's out there. But on the heels of practicing patience, as we did last week, it is an apt recommendation. Valerie's story includes many of the values we champion here at GFJ: take a chance on something that interests you, spend some time farming (even if you don't want to be a farmer), don't be afraid to take the job you don't want at the organization that you DO want to work for...and seize the perfect opportunity when it comes around.
